Thank you, Mr. Richards, for sharing your time.
Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the panel.
My question is quite short. It's from the standpoint of international competition, especially from emerging economies like South Korea and China. They are rapidly catching up. Over the past few Olympics they have achieved podium status.
Specifically to Speed Skating Canada and Skate Canada, if we look at how they achieved that position, they didn't necessarily have all government funding, and as a matter of fact, a lot of them have come over to Canada to train, or gone to Europe to train.
Perhaps you could share with us how they have done this. How have they done it differently? Is there anything we can learn from their method to achieve their rise?
