I'll call the meeting to order. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted on February 6, 2017, the committee resumes its comparative study of services to veterans in other jurisdictions.
In hour one, we have a 10-minute statement, followed by questions and answers. From the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, we would like to welcome, by video conference from Washington, Mr. Robert Reynolds, deputy under secretary for disability assistance.
Mr. Reynolds, we'll give you the floor for 10 minutes and hopefully then ask you some questions.
