Thank you, and thank you to all of you for being here. Jamie is joining us from my hometown of Airdrie by video conference. Thank you, Jamie.
I want to ask each of you some questions, if I can make that work and find the time here.
I'll start with you, Mr. Partrick, from Skate Canada. I understand you utilize the national coaching certification program for figure skating. It's something I'm a little familiar with from my time as a hockey coach when I was younger. I was wondering if you could comment. I did see in your presentation you have the two different streams. You have what you call the instruction stream, which would be similar to what Mr. Lopez is talking about with his recreational stream, and then the competitive stream, which would obviously be similar to his high-performance stream. That's fairly typical in most sports, I know.
Can you give us a sense as to what the differences are through the training program for those two different streams? I recall from my hockey days—I coached what you would call competitive teams; I simply had those at level 1. At that time it was viewed as a qualification you had to meet to be able to coach at the provincials. That was simply about all we were doing. We weren't really trying to develop ourselves as coaches, to be completely honest. I think that has changed over that period of time. We're talking about nearly 20 years ago when I coached, so things have changed a lot since then. Can you give me a sense as to the differences in the training program for those two different types of streams?
