I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 36 of the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted on Monday, October 3, 2022, the committee is resuming its study on the national strategy for veterans employment after service.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format. To ensure an orderly meeting, I would like to outline a few rules.
Wait until I recognize you by name before speaking.
If you are on the video conference, please click the microphone icon to unmute yourself and speak. For the interpretation, you have the choice of language at the bottom of your screen. I believe the clerk has informed our witnesses of what to do to switch from English to French.
I would remind you that all comments must be addressed to the chair.
I would inform you that per our routine motion on this subject, the sound tests have been done. We hope that everything will be working as it should at this meeting.
I will now welcome our witnesses.
We have, from the Aerospace Industries Association of Canada, Mr. Mike Mueller, president and chief executive officer, by video conference. From Helmets to Hardhats, we have Paul Bury, director, transition services, and Normand Trépanier, deputy director.
Mr. Mueller, you'll have the floor for five minutes, but please look at me, because I'm going to tell you when you have one minute left and when your time is over. Please respect that.
After that, we'll have a series of questions from members of the committee.
Mr. Mueller, the floor is yours for five minutes or less. Please turn on your mike and go ahead.
