Meegwetch. I'm sorry that we didn't have a chance to hear from you.
I want to thank you all for your service to your various countries, and of course as Canadians serving in the United States, to both countries.
I wanted to talk a little bit about how we could support the families of indigenous veterans. I think that's really important, because I'm a family member. I have two sons serving in the Canadian Armed Forces, so that's a component that I want to hear about from you, because we've heard that we need to involve the families, especially when one transitions from a very collectivist group to a very individualistic setting. As you said, once you leave, you're on your own.
What could we be doing to help, and what specific needs do indigenous families have to help support their veterans?
