Thank you very much for your question.
There are many areas where athletes are involved. If you look at the international level, there is an IOC Athletes' Commission, on which the current IOC member from Canada is Beckie Scott. I was a member of that commission for 15 years. My term on that has just ended.
From the Canadian point of view, we have several athletes commissions in Canada. The Canadian Olympic Committee has a very robust athletes council. We also have a committee of Olympians Canada, which represents the 4,000 alumni Olympians. We also have AthletesCAN in Canada. Also, a lot of the national sport federations have athletes committees.
If you look at VANOC, we had an athletes council related to that to give advice to the organizing committee, typically around sport. The Pan American Games has a very robust athlete advisory council as well. Our Canadian Olympic Committee has, on our governance structure, athletes who are integrated into that as well as representation from the alumni. From time to time, as far as working groups are concerned, the athletes are called on quite a bit to be involved, not just from a ceremonial point of view, but also for developing and implementing policy.
Regarding the whole idea of athletes' involvement, in many ways the International Olympic Committee has taken a lead role in that by encouraging the 204 national Olympic committees to include athletes on their executives. In Canada, we're very well represented on our executive as far as the athletes are concerned.
