Thank you.
Good morning, Mr. Chair, Mr. Vice-Chair, members of the committee, and ladies and gentlemen.
I'm happy to be here this morning.
First, I'd like to thank you for all the efforts you have made to improve services for veterans and for exploring benefits offered in other countries.
As my colleague outlined, our mission is to improve the well-being of veterans and their families. We take a comprehensive approach to veterans' well-being. Our objective is to help all our servicemen and women transition successfully into civilian society and to assist each of them in finding the new normal. We are committed to the re-establishment of veterans through wellness as well as a recognition of lifelong commitment, and we have made great strides in enabling well-being. Recent surveys have indicated that we are on the right track.
In the first survey since 2010, 82% of our veterans indicated that their case management plans met their needs. That's a significant increase from 2010, when only 24% were satisfied.
