That's perfect.
Welcome to meeting number 38 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs.
Pursuant to the motion adopted on November 25 2025, the committee is meeting to study the monitoring of the rehabilitation services contract awarded to Partners in Canadian Veterans Rehabilitation Services, or PCVRS.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the Standing Orders. Members and witnesses can attend in person or remotely using the Zoom application.
To ensure an orderly meeting, I'd like to outline a few rules for witnesses and members: Before speaking, please wait until I recognize you by name; if you're participating by video conference, click on the microphone icon to activate your microphone; and please mute yourself when you're not speaking.
We have our panel of witnesses for the PCVRS study.
We have Eric Vila, as an individual, by video conference. We have, from the Union of Veterans' Affairs Employees, Toufic El-Daher, national president, and Martha Josephian, case manager and alternate vice-president.
The bells are ringing, so we will give you five minutes each, and then we will suspend, go vote and come back for the rounds of questions.
Go ahead, Mr. Vila, for five minutes, please.
