Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I also want to thank the witnesses for joining us. I too was looking forward to speaking with Mr. MacEachern.

Through you, Mr. Chair, I'll direct the questions to Ms. Hughes.

In my riding of Mississauga—Streetsville we have Branch 139, and I really commend all the work that the Royal Canadian Legion does for our veterans in the larger community. Thank you so much for all that you do.

February is Black History Month. Can you share how the Legion supports under-represented veterans when it comes to their transition back to civilian life?
