Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It's great to see you back here, Minister. It's always a pleasure seeing you at our committee.
Through you, Mr. Chair, I'm quite proud of the fact that my home province of British Columbia will be hosting the 2025 Invictus Games for the world and allowing us to watch veterans and members of the armed forces compete in the games.
Two weeks ago, Vancouver hosted the Grey Cup, and I was honoured to present the Jake Gaudaur Veterans' Award to Jorgen Hus of the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Throughout the Canadian Football League season, Jorgen best demonstrated the attributes of Canada's veterans, and the Invictus Games use the power of sport to inspire recovery, support rehabilitation and generate a wider understanding of, and respect for, wounded, injured and sick service members and veterans.
Can you share with this committee your hopes for what the 2025 Invictus Games will accomplish?
