Thank you, Chair, and thank you to our guests this evening.
To those who have served, thank you very much for your service, and thank you for joining us by Zoom.
A lot of information has been shared with us today. I apologize—I know we'll have quite a few questions for you.
I'd like to start off with Ms. MacLean.
One of the questions I have for you is.... Last year, you co-authored an article published in the Frontiers in Public Health journal, entitled “Lessons Learned From Presumptive Condition Lists in Veteran Compensation Systems”. In this article, you discuss presumptive condition lists used by the U.S., the U.K., New Zealand and Australia in their departments of veterans affairs. What has stood out for us is that all these countries have presumptive condition lists, yet Veterans Affairs Canada does not.
Can you speak to your findings on this, and elaborate a bit for this committee?
