My recollection would be that OSIC really looks after 3,700 or 4,000 athletes. You don't have control of the provincial governments.
I would think that the sports minister should have had this dialogue a year ago with every sport and territorial sport body in this country. We are in dying hours, and all of a sudden she's going to the Canada Winter Games to have this discussion when really eight months into the job.... This should have been done a year ago. I'm just floored.
I've talked to my people in my province. They're not signing on to this, and Saskatchewan is not the only province. We only have Quebec. They signed on their own, back in 2014. There is a huge gap with your organization, just a huge gap. Eighty per cent of the athletes in the country aren't covered, because you're only covering 3,700 to 4,000. You're talking about the NSOs; you're not talking about provincial or club sports, which is a huge gap in OSIC.
It needed to be corrected long ago, but here we are. You have 53 NSOs signed on. You're still short of a capacity, but we don't have any provincial dialogue, which is essential to make this sport safe in the country of Canada. If it's not going to be at the provincial level, this is a dud of a program, if you don't mind my saying so.
