Good evening, Minister MacAulay and Mr. Ledwell. I appreciate the opportunity to ask both of you questions.
Minister, my first two questions are in reference to your mandate letter, which indicates that you will “Ensure the benefit system and services are responsive to and meet the needs of under-represented Veterans, including women, LGBTQ2, racialized and Indigenous Veterans.”
Can you comment on what progress has been made thus far, and what work may lie ahead?
