Thank you very much for that.

I just now want to turn it back to Mr. Smith.

Mr. Smith, in your opening you mentioned that you have the support of Hockey Canada representatives and of associations across this country.

I'm just wondering, from the minor hockey leagues, how did you find out that they're actually supporting you? I just spoke to a coach who texted me saying, “Hey, I wasn't part of that survey, and I do not support what's happening with the Hockey Canada programs.”

I'm just asking, Mr. Smith, how do you know you have the support of minor hockey across Canada?
