Thank you for being here today.
I appreciate your talking to us about this really important issue of how many veterans are waiting. My first question goes back to human resources.
When the Conservatives were in power there was a decrease in the number of people working at Veterans Affairs. With the great number of people who are applying now, and with the backlogs, how close are you to getting back to the original numbers before the cuts that came at that time? Does anyone know that?
