Thanks, Mr. Chair.
I want to take this opportunity to thank the witnesses for being here. We heard from the Department of Foreign Affairs and the RCMP representatives who are ensuring the athletes' security and will provide them with information sessions. We just saw that the NDP was justified in asking that they be invited to appear before the committee for this study.
Mr. Aubut, the preparation exercise for the games is done often. I am convinced that, as always, you are well prepared on the sports front.
I have a specific question for you. Vancouver was host to a first-time initiative, I think. I am talking about the Pride House, which was set up by non-governmental organizations, NGOs. The same initiative was set up in London and will once again be implemented in Rio de Janeiro.
Now, a Russian judge is preventing the sponsoring of a pride house in Russia. We are asking that national organizations like yours support those who want to have a pride house. You talked about the record number of facilities on site for these games. Is this something you have thought about and will support once you are on site in Sochi?
