Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
Thanks to our witnesses for coming back a year later and giving us a little update on how everything has gone.
I'd be remiss if I didn't put in a little plug for Conlin McCabe from Brockville, winner of a medal in the men's eight rowing. After he returned to Canada, we had a big celebration in Brockville to celebrate that, which was great news. I spent many years training and racing in sprint kayak, so I was especially excited. In fact, I got up in the middle of night to see the medals that were won by Adam van Koeverdon, Mark Oldershaw and Mark de Jonge. It was great. I know we were all excited about that. We did very well on the water over in London, which is really exciting.
I'll turn to what the Canadian Olympic Committee is doing, because you're really in the media a lot; you're very present. I think it's great, and it keeps sports top of mind in the media. Maybe you could tell us if, in fact, that's deliberate, and why it really is important.
