Good morning, everyone. We know we have a limited time with the minister, so I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number four of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs.
Pursuant to the motion adopted on October 27, and Standing Orders 81(4) and 81(5), the committee is undertaking the study of the main estimates and supplementary estimates (B) 2020-21.
We are very pleased to welcome back to committee the Minister of Veterans Affairs and department officials.
I want to be very respectful of the limited time we have, so I want to welcome the minister and invite him to make his opening remarks.
Minister MacAulay, the floor is yours.
