Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
First of all, thank you very much for having come here. I also want to thank you for the good work you do with veterans and with the families when veterans have passed away. It is important that someone support them.
I have some questions about the Funeral and Burial Program of Veterans Affairs Canada. I was wondering if the applicants were aware of the eligibility criteria, for instance the $12,000 threshold. Are they aware of that? If their application is denied, are they informed and do they receive sufficiently specific explanations so as not to be left in the dark?
