I call the meeting back to order. I thank the technicians for solving the problem.
I was reminding you to be very careful with the earpieces. We ask that when you have the floor and your microphone is on, you place the earpiece face down in the designated spot. As a reminder, all comments by members should be addressed through the chair.
Joining us today are senior officials from Veterans Affairs Canada, whom I'd like to thank for being with us. They are Amy Meunier, assistant deputy minister, commemoration and public affairs branch, and Pierre Tessier, assistant deputy minister, strategic policy, planning and performance branch.
Mr. Richards has a point of order.
Go ahead, Mr. Richards.
