Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
I think that Mr. Leung is being too modest. With respect to risky activities, he also makes the House of Commons staff sing when he plays the bagpipes. That is risky, but I congratulate him.
I would like to come back to something you said a little earlier, Mr. Wilson. You talked about attracting private sponsors and so on. You said that you had to run after all the kids who go really fast on their toboggans. Clearly, the visibility of certain sports is an issue. That information is relevant for a committee like this one.
On a number of occasions, and even here today, we have heard the expression
“the cake is baked”.
Where Sochi is concerned, the cake is baked. Mr. Lyon, Mr. Judge and Mr. Wilson, thank you for being here to share this information with us.
Mr. Judge, I also noted that when you knew that the next games were going to take place in Sochi, you took the trouble to go there in order to be prepared. That is interesting, because I think that in order to be prepared and get where you are going on time,
timing is everything,
Visibility is also an issue. You alluded to that fact.
In that connection, I would point out that public meetings like this one are rare. So I want to take advantage of the fact that this meeting is public in order to call for a vote on the motion that I introduced last week. The motion is to have Mr. Blais, from the CRTC, appear before the committee on February 7, 2014. Time goes quickly, and since our next meeting will not be until February, if we want to give the clerk enough time to invite Mr. Blais, I would like the committee to vote on this motion that I presented last week. As you can understand, our being televised here has a direct connection with your point about visibility in sports. I would therefore call for a vote on my motion.
