I was really pleased to hear that the delegation met with folks here in Ottawa. Last year I met with First Lady Madam Zelenska and a group of her delegates from Ukraine as well. They came here.
The First Lady's priority is really the mental health of veterans when they return home. She wants to ensure that those services are put in place. They're starting from scratch. Mental health services are not something that they talk about openly in Ukraine, as we do here in Canada. They want to look at best practices and how they can put in place the services that veterans need. Last year, when we met with them, we signed a letter of understanding indicating that we would share as much information as we can with them, any practices and any research we have. We are willing and able and we want to take part in that sharing of information.
Just two weeks ago, there was another delegation here. I believe that many members from the committee perhaps met with them as well, again, in wanting to share that information.
Inside of Veterans Affairs Canada as well, we've set up and organized an internal committee to make sure that sharing that information is easier. We want to work collaboratively with the Ukrainian government and with the embassy here in Ottawa to do all we can to provide them with the assistance they need.
