Thank you so much.
First of all, I acknowledge and thank all of you who have served for your service. Thank you for talking about things that are sometimes very hard to talk about. I really appreciate that.
I thank the folks here who are civilians, who know these stories are so important that you're doing that important support work of amplifying them and finding opportunities to make sure that the voices that are often not heard are heard.
I acknowledge and thank all of you for your presentations.
I'll go first to Mr. Soulière and Ms. Montague.
You said in your opening remarks that it's very hard for our veterans and military people to feel connected to commemoration if they're feeling neglected by the supports and services they're getting. I think when we talk about commemoration that is something we need to always connect with, think about and challenge ourselves to do better.
To follow up on what Mr. Desilets said earlier, you talked about the gaps for diversity and the need to put that GBA+ process also into reviewing commemoration. Could you talk to us about what those gaps are? Have you heard from folks what those gaps are? What could we do differently? What could VAC do differently, to start to address that in terms of commemoration?
I'll leave it to either of you to answer.
