Good afternoon, Mr. Chair and colleagues.
I want to thank the witnesses for all of your hard work and everything you do for our veterans across Canada every day, and a special thanks to you, Mr. Laurion, for serving our country for 37 years.
I'd like to start with Mrs. Lowther.
Veterans Canada has received funding from the veteran and family well-being fund on several occasions in recent years. Can you comment on why that funding is important and how Veterans Canada has been able to better serve our veterans since receiving those funds?
