Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My sincere thanks to the witnesses for being here today.
I appreciate very much your being here again. I know this is your first time being here to talk about transition in particular before this committee.
I want to talk about a couple of different issues. The first is the military family resource centres. I know the government has now opened up all 32 to medically releasing veterans and their families. The good work that the military family resource centres do, usually in military communities, is a phenomenal resource that we have on the ground that can actually help transitioning members and their families.
I'm wondering what more can be done to support families in addition to the MFRCs. Do you have any concrete examples? I note that the government has initiated a caregiver amount of up to $1,000 tax-free a month to assist family members who are taking care of ill and injured veterans. Do you have any concrete examples of other things the government should or could be doing to support these family members, who do such an important job ensuring that this transition enables forces members to find a new purpose?
