Thank you, Chair. Yes, I would also like to thank all of our witnesses for their testimony today.
Mr. Benjamin, I want to echo my colleague in thanking you for your bravery in coming here to share your story. It's really hard to hear. I can't imagine having to go through it, but it's important that we have that on the record here in Parliament today. We couldn't do that if you didn't have the strength to come here and share that story. Once again, thank you.
Ms. Blackburn, thank you for the work that you're doing.
These things are hard to hear. They're really hard to hear. What our committee is trying to get at are good recommendations and ways to move forward.
You've talked a bit about how you've been able to fill some of the gaps and help guide veterans to the services that they're entitled to. Could you explain that a bit more for us, and perhaps give us some suggestions as to how we can be better at helping veterans access whatever benefits they're entitled to as soon as they leave the military?
