I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 104 of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage. I would like to acknowledge that this meeting is taking place on the unceded traditional territory of the Algonquin Anishinabe nation.
As we know, this is going to be a hybrid meeting. Everyone who is appearing virtually will log on to Zoom, but remember that you're not allowed to take pictures of Zoom or the meeting.
The other thing is that you are not mandated to wear masks, but it would be nice if you could, because we heard from the Ontario chief health officer that people are going to get very sick and hospitals are already beginning to fill up. Just remember that.
I want everyone to know that when you want to address any questions or answers, please go through the chair. Also, be careful with your sound, because the echoing on any other thing you have in front of you could cause problems for the interpreters, who could get feedback, and that would be very negative for them.
Today we are meeting, as requested, with the Minister of Sport, the Honourable Carla Qualtrough.
The Department of Canadian Heritage officials with her are Isabelle Mondou, deputy minister of Canadian Heritage, and Emmanuelle Sajous, assistant deputy minister of sport. From the Public Health Agency of Canada, we have Nancy Hamzawi, executive vice-president, and Michael Collins, vice-president of the health promotion and chronic disease prevention branch.
Without any further ado, welcome, Minister. It's so nice to see you here. Congratulations on a portfolio I know that you feel very at home in, having been an Olympian yourself.
We'll begin with you. You have 10 minutes.
