Yes, I would certainly second all that; I agree with all of that. I think that from the perspective of a sport that has less broad participation and needs to focus on participation a little bit more, doing things to support provincial initiatives for regionalized training centres could be a major factor. If we can get some sort of matching funding, it would help provinces keep athletes longer, keep them involved all the way through high school and potentially beyond high school. With some sort of proper connection to academics, I think that would be a major support for us.
