I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 119 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs.
Pursuant to Standing Order 81(5) and the motion adopted by the committee on November 28, 2024, the committee is resuming its study of the Supplementary Estimates (B), 2024‑25.
Today's meeting is being held in hybrid form, in accordance with the Standing Orders. As a reminder, all comments should be directed to the chair.
As usual, I would like to welcome the veterans who are here in the room as well as those who are listening to us remotely.
We also had the pleasure last week of receiving a Ukrainian delegation. We had an excellent meeting. I would like to inform committee members that I agreed, on behalf of the committee, to accept a plaque, which you can come and see here.
