Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to our guests this evening as well. It's good to see you.
It saddens me to have this conversation, to see what's happened in the last couple of weeks, to watch the media reports of the things going on around the war memorial and the lack of respect that we've seen.
Ms. Garrett-Baird, what kind of feedback have you, at Veterans Affairs, received from the people most connected to the war memorial, like veterans and legions and veterans across the country as they've seen these unfortunate events unfold in Ottawa? Have any of these people provided suggestions on what they feel are appropriate penalties or ways to increase security for the memorial sites?
