Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to all the witnesses.
Ms. Raymond, thank you for your work at the Quebec Winter Carnival.
As my colleagues from Quebec have already asked you questions, I will address the other witnesses.
I have a couple of questions. It is very difficult right now for elite athletes, for age group and masters athletes, and for recreational athletes, because you can't train in most regions of Canada in a team, and even if you're in an individual sport and you train in a team, you can't be together. As a result, we're far behind in preparation. We're way behind the point where everybody wants to be.
My first question is for Mr. Shoemaker. Are there any countries internationally that have done this better than Canada and that have right now prepared their elite athletes for the Olympics in a better way? If so, which countries are they?
