Thank you very much for having me here today. It's an honour to talk to this committee.
First, I'd like to congratulate Katie. I know she gave me a little shot before. In 1998, I learned to appreciate what the women's team went through: the dedication, the hard work, the sacrifice they made. We went to their gold medal game and supported them. Congratulations to them. I'm jealous. I wish I had one of those medals. It's a testament to you. You make Canada proud. The history of the Canadians' program is outstanding, so congratulations.
