Welcome to the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage as we continue our study on the status of amateur coaching in Canada.
We are very pleased to have witnesses with us today from the Institut national du sport du Québec, Marc Gélinas, chief executive officer. From the Coaching Association of Canada, we have John Bales, chief executive officer. From the Oakville Gymnastics Club, we have Wayne Hussey, chief executive officer.
Welcome to you, gentlemen. These witnesses will be with us until 4:25. At 4:25 we're going to be hearing from another panel of witnesses.
As the clerk has explained to you, there will be time for opening remarks and then we'll have an opportunity for our committee members to ask some questions of the witnesses.
We will begin with Mr. Bales from the Coaching Association of Canada. He has a PowerPoint presentation.
Mr. Bales, the floor is yours.
