Thank you so much, Chair.
I appreciate having both of you here. Todd, thank you for your service as well.
I want to begin with a question for you, Ms. Teillet.
We did the study in 2019 and had the opportunity to travel. It was excellent. It was right across the country and up north to where the rangers were. One of our recommendations was this:
That Veterans Affairs Canada provide the House of Commons Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs with an explanation of the reasons that a settlement agreement was not reached to compensate Métis veterans of World War II and their families.
The rationale was that in budget 2019, which was the year that we did this, the Government of Canada proposed “$30 million to recognize the contribution of Métis veterans to the country's Second World War efforts and to commemorate the sacrifices and achievements of all Métis veterans.”
I'm wondering if you can answer this for me. I've asked in the past how the $30 million that was proposed to recognize that contribution was spent. Actually, the funding went to only one organization, and the Métis people who were not affiliated with that group, of course, were incredibly disappointed with that. Do you, with your background and history, know what organization it was that actually received that money?
