Good morning, everyone.
Exceptionally, I will preside over this meeting until our colleague Mr. Moore arrives. I want to begin by welcoming everyone. Thank you for coming to share your experience with us. We are preparing for a major event in the Olympic Games, which will take place this summer.
Joining us today are the following witnesses: Henry Storgaard, from the Canadian Paralympic Committee; Peter Montopoli, from the Canadian Soccer Association; Lane MacAdam, from the Department of Canadian Heritage; Graham Brown, from Rugby Canada; Chris Jones, from the Sport Matters Group; and Pierre Lafontaine, from Swimming Canada.
Good morning. Thank you for joining us. Please note that the presentations will be slightly shortened to seven minutes each. We ask that you keep that in mind. We have many witnesses this morning, and we want to hear from everyone. We want to have the opportunity to talk to you. I will let you know when you reach the six-minute mark. My signal will not mean that I want to speak, but that you have one minute left.
I now yield the floor to Henry Storgaard.
