There is unanimous consent.
Thank you, Mr. Clark.
Before we introduce our second group of witnesses, for the people who are viewing this, I would like to provide a warning. We will be discussing experiences related to suicide and grief. This may be triggering to viewers with similar experiences. That goes for all the witnesses and for members of Parliament. It is important to recognize that these are difficult discussions.
Witnesses, if you do not feel comfortable at any point, please let us know. We can pause our meeting for you.
I would now like to introduce our next set of witnesses.
We have Mr. Kenneth Bennett, warrant officer, retired, appearing as an individual.
Welcome.
We have Mr. Brendan Hynes, who is also appearing as an individual.
Thank you very much, sir, for being here. Thank you for your service.
From the United Federation of Canadian Veterans, we have Mrs. Diane Rose, peer support advocate.
Each of you will have five minutes. At the end of the 15 minutes, we'll open the floor for our members of Parliament. It was unanimously approved that we will be extending our committee meeting by 15 minutes. I hope you are available. Members of Parliament can be available, but you are our witnesses today, so I want to make sure that you are available to extend the time by 15 minutes.
Thank you very much for that.
Mr. Bennett, let's start with you for five minutes, please.
