I'd like to call the meeting to order and to welcome everybody here today. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), and the motion adopted on Thursday, February 25, 2016, the committee is resuming its study of service delivery to veterans today.
Today we're going to do this in a panel. I'd like to welcome our witnesses in person: Ms. Gilmore, Mr. Mitic, and Mr. Westholm. By video conference, we have Mr. Kuluski and Mr. Veltri.
To start, each witness will have five minutes to do an introduction and a statement. You don't have to use the full five minutes. I know some of the witnesses have been here before and some haven't, so process-wise, after you're done, we will start with questioning. The question time in the first round is six minutes. I will have to limit your time, unfortunately, as the room has been booked.
For the people on the panel here, or our fellow members, if you want to direct a question to a particular witness, could you state the name of the witness who is to answer the question rather than rolling through on a time frame? Let's be concise. Let's have a great meeting today.
We'll start with the video conference from Thunder Bay. Welcome. Who wants to start first?
