Good afternoon.
We are now resuming the meeting.
I would like to make a few comments for the benefit of the new witnesses.
Before speaking, please wait until I recognize you by name. When you are ready to speak, you can click on your microphone icon to activate your microphone. I'll remind you that all comments should be addressed through the chair.
The interpretation services available for this videoconference are approximately the same as those provided during the committee's usual meetings. At the bottom of the screen, you can choose Floor, English, or French.
Please speak slowly and clearly. When you are not speaking, please mute your microphone.
I would now like to welcome our witnesses. Although the notice of meeting shows that Ms. Sherry Bordage would be attending, she's not here. However, I'm pleased to welcome Mr. Todd Ross, the Co-Chair of the Rainbow Veterans of Canada, and Mr. Oliver Thorne, the Executive Director of the Veterans Transition Network.
Each of them will have five minutes for their presentations. Mr. Ross will begin, followed by Mr. Thorne.
Mr. Ross, please turn your microphone on and go ahead.
