Thank you, Chair.
I, too, would like to welcome our guests today. I thank you for your service as well. It's incredibly important.
We've heard a lot of testimony, and there are a lot of questions where we could go in different directions.
Mr. Thorne, first of all, you mentioned in your testimony PTSD and suicides and what happens in suicide prevention, of course, and you mentioned the fact that vets are reluctant to reach out for help.
This left me wondering: Is there a process in place for veterans when they finish their military service and they go off to live a civilian life? Is there some kind of process whereby vets are monitored? Is there some form of follow-up by VAC with these people who have finished their service as members of the military? Are you aware of any of that?
