Thank you so much, Chair.
I thank both of our witnesses. Mr. Ross, I want to thank you for your service.
I'll go to you first, Ms. Teillet. I really appreciate your testimony today, and I think it's really important.
I think of the first nations people who lost status because of their service. I come to it from a very personal experience. My granny was in residential school in Lejac, and they married her off at 16 without any consent from her. Of course, you immediately lose your status. For my granny, what that meant was that when her father was dying, she couldn't go home without permission from the Indian agent.
I'm wondering if you could talk a little bit about what the impact was when these veterans came home and they couldn't participate in their community in the same way if they gave up their status.
