Good afternoon.
The Institut national du sport du Québec administers a number of programs and services for athletes preparing for high-level competitions, such as the Olympic or Paralympic Games. We offer a wide range of programs and services, specifically training and professional development for those who want to become high-level coaches or for those who are already national team coaches and need professional development.
I was very interested in Mr. Bales' presentation. A number of his recommendations partly overlap with our observations. We do not train coaches in sports initiation, but we train those preparing for high-performance sport and who are already working in the field. In my view, a number of training elements also apply to high-level coaches.
I will leave it at that. I can participate in the ensuing discussion.
