Good morning, everyone.
I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 53 of the House of Commons 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 people.
Pursuant to the motions adopted by the committee on Monday, June 13, 2022, and Tuesday, September 20, 2022, the committee is meeting on the study of Hockey Canada.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the House order of Thursday, June 23, 2022. Some members are sitting in person and some are attending remotely using the Zoom application.
I want to make a few comments for the benefit of the witnesses and members.
Please wait until I recognize you by name before speaking. For those participating by video conference, click on the microphone icon at the bottom of your screen to activate your mike. Please mute yourself when you're not speaking.
For interpretation for those on Zoom, you have the choice, at the bottom of your screen, of either English or French. You will see a little globe. That is your interpretation button. For those in the room, you know that you can use the earpiece and choose the desired channel.
I will remind you that all comments should be addressed through the chair.
I wanted to ask the clerk one question: Is everyone miked with the House of Commons-approved mike? As you know, we have had some problems in the past with accidents.
