Thank you for your presentation.
It's evident that it's a very difficult job. You're doing an excellent job of supporting our men and women who have served and who continue to serve. It's a crucial job; it's a frontline job, and it's a personal job.
Finding ways to support the job you do is also crucial for the department. Finding ways to relieve some pressure and maybe to deviate from some burdens you may have to allow you to have more face-to-face time with our veterans is crucial.
It's my understanding that the new company will support over 14,000 veterans with approximately 9,000 medical professionals right across the country from remote areas to urban areas.
Would you agree that it is the objective of Veterans Affairs and the company to deliver that service?
