Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thank you, Minister. We are very pleased that you are attending our committee meeting, and it is a pleasure to see you.
I have a number of questions, and I hope to get through a significant number of them.
One of the quite disconcerting realities of the last mandate of government was compelling veterans with severe injuries, such as the loss of limbs, to reconfirm every three years that the injury still exists.
Do you have any plans to change that? Obviously that kind of injury doesn't go away, and for a veteran to have to re-file paperwork, and prove over and over again that injury still exists, seems ludicrous.
