Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank the minister for taking time out of his busy schedule to come before the committee. I didn't realize that the minister was a rugby player. They have quadriplegic rugby, and perhaps we should play sometime, Minister. I'll even give you a handicap.
In regard to the tax credit, I've heard a lot from my constituents that the tax credit has really been very helpful to them and that they are encouraged to enrol their kids in more sport. Could you comment on the scope of the types of sports that would be involved?
Also--and this may be for both Silken and the minister--if there are more kids involved in sport, what impact does that have on elite sports? Since Sport Canada invests a lot in elite sports as well, what impact will that have on community-based sports? What is the synergy there?
