Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to be addressing my questions to Ms. Weatherbie and Mr. Hartigan.
I want to start by thanking you for your representation of the people who are on the front lines of dealing with the backlog. I have the privilege of representing many of them in Parliament, just as you do in their professional work.
What we heard from the deputy minister is that the people involved in the backlog are essentially represented by three unions: the Union of Veterans' Affairs Employees, the one that you lead and another union that deals with the financial people.
I'll get you to confirm that and explain to the committee the role that your members play.
