I sat on the board of the Ontario Brain Injury Association and also on the national Brain Injury Association of Canada for many years and have seen the devastation that can occur in people's lives.
My comment was going to be that I didn't and I do not recommend that we limit our analysis solely to amateur sport. I think there's a very direct, positive correlation between head trauma and such long-term neurological disorders as Parkinson's, dementia, and Alzheimer's. They're proving that more and more each and every day. We certainly don't want to limit the type of sport, whether it be boxing, football, hockey, etc., because all professional athletes suffer from concussion and head trauma. What we're seeing is professional athletes who are now coming to the age, having retired 10, 15, or 20 years ago, of 50 and 60 years old and suffering more and more from neurological diseases. That's why I didn't want to limit ourselves in our study to simply amateur sport.
