Thank you, Chair.
I really appreciate my colleague, Mr. Tolmie's, compassionate way of thanking you for your service. I hope it doesn't become rote when we do thank veterans at the start of every meeting. We truly do appreciate your being here, particularly you, Lieutenant Richard, with your medical challenges. The fact that you're here is a true testament to your strength. Your words are really important and we really truly appreciate that you're here.
Before I go further, I want to pick up on that further, that conversation you were having because you did, I think, substantially talk in your opening statement about the inability to know what services are available and to access the benefits that are due to you.
You talked about your experience, but I'm wondering if you have ideas about the ideal. Ideally, what would it look like? How do we best provide and let veterans know what services are available to them?
You can both respond.
Go ahead first, Sean, and then we'll pass it over to Lieutenant Richard.
