Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the minister for being here today.
Welcome to all the guests who are joining our committee.
Since 2015 our government has been working quite hard to restore all the services and supports cut by the Conservative government and to improve services that support our veterans and their families. We put in place the veteran and family well-being fund, the veterans emergency fund and the veterans education and training benefit. We expanded access to the military resource centres for veterans' families. We've also made investments in mental health services and care for veterans and provide lifelong financial support for our ill and injured veterans. We also help veterans transition from military service to civilian life and offer support for caregivers. We put in place a national housing fund to prioritize support for vulnerable citizens, including veterans, and made investments to reduce backlogs, offer faster service and retain case managers.
Through the chair, Minister, the Conservatives have fought against all of these measures.
We can always do better. What comes next? What are your top priorities right now?
