Thanks very much, Chair.
Thanks to our witnesses for being here today.
The story of True Patriot Love is really inspiring, I think, for all of us who work on defence-related and military issues in this committee, because it shows how deeply rooted the support for Canada's military is in Canadian society. The government does a lot, but you reflect how broad and deep that support is in the corporate sector and among individuals in civil society, so our hat is really off to you for that work. We're proud. We will be reminded of it on a continual basis, not only by our work in committee, but because we have one of our colleagues now in our caucus and in the House of Commons who was so directly involved in your work, as many of us have been.
I've had the pleasure of taking part in some of your events in the GTA, of being at that great seminar in Washington that showcased a lot of good things Canada has done in the field of mental health, but also the challenges ahead.
Tell us a bit more, though, as you are endeavouring to ensure your programming is focused and delivering results, about what kind of vetting you do and what kind of criteria you're applying today to identify the right charities. Obviously, there's a changing field out there. There were some available in 2009. It's a slightly different field now. How do you go about making sure that selection process is the best it can be?
