Let's continue.
Thank you to the clerk for doing these elections. This is now the introductions.
I would like to ask the vice-chairs to please say a few words in a moment. I am very pleased that the members of the committee have elected me to the position of Chair. My thanks to you.
I was previously the Chair of the Standing Committee on Official Languages. Today, here I am as Chair of the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs. This is a pleasure for me.
I am going to continue with an opening statement. Before that, I will give the floor to Mr. Caputo
It's your turn as vice-chair to say a few words, if you like.
