Good morning, folks.
We are continuing our study on the backlog in disability benefit claims with our second panel this morning.
From the Veterans Review and Appeal Board, we have Mr. Christopher McNeil, the chair; and Jacques Bouchard, the deputy chair. We also have, from the Canadian Armed Forces transition group, Major-General Andrew Downes, surgeon general, commander of the Canadian Armed Forces health services group; Brigadier-General Mark Misener, commander, Canadian Armed Forces transition group; and Mr. Brock Heilman, chief informatics officer, Canadian Armed Forces health services group.
Thank you to all of you for being here today on this beautiful, almost-spring morning. We're going to get started with the Veterans Review and Appeal Board. I believe, Mr. McNeil, you're going to start us off. The next 10 minutes is all yours.
