I'd like to thank the witnesses for their testimony.
I'd also like to thank the three among you who served their country.
At around a quarter to five, if you need to stop for five minutes, do not hesitate to let me know.
A few moments ago in her address, Lieutenant-Colonel Perron alluded to the French title for the study we are conducting, “Expériences vécues par les femmes vétérans”. I must advise you that we held discussions at this committee to find the most accurate possible title for this study. We did not want women and men to be grouped together. Often, when we speak of veterans, it's about men. As we were told that we had to make the distinction in French, even though the problem did not occur in English, we decided to use the expression “femmes vétérans” to make it clear whom we were talking about. It's also one of the first times that we have been conducting such a study to investigate the experiences of women. That's why the committee chose the title “Expériences vécues par les femmes vétérans”.
Ms. Perron, you look like you want to say something. I will therefore give you the floor before we move on to the questions.
