Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank both of our witnesses for being here today and for their presentations.
First I'd like to touch on something Mr. McColeman was speaking to, the Canadian Press story yesterday regarding the delays that seem to have gone up for disability or medical benefits.
Can I take it from what you say that there's a catching up happening right now, that veterans are coming forward, that they feel like maybe there would be an increased chance of their application being approved? Is the idea that there is a backlog because more people are coming forward now, but it would be temporary, and as we get through these, eventually that delay would be addressed and it would subside? Is that right?
