I call this meeting to order. I would like to acknowledge that this meeting is taking place on the unceded traditional territory of the Algonquin Anishinabe people.
Welcome to meeting number 66 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage.
Today, as you all know, we are holding the meeting in a hybrid format pursuant to the House order of Thursday, June 23, 2022.
While public health authorities and the Board of Internal Economy no longer mandate mask-wearing, I again would like to tell everyone that based on the fact that the World Health Organization still considers it to be a pandemic, for your own safety and that of others, I hope you will consider wearing a mask, specifically in rooms that aren't ventilated.
I now would like to take this opportunity to remind all participants of this meeting that you are not permitted to screenshots or photos of the screen. The proceedings will be made available on the House of Commons website.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Tuesday, September 20, the committee is meeting to continue its study on safe sport in Canada.
All of you in the room here know how to access interpretation. For those of you who are attending virtually, there's a little globe at the bottom of your screen. Please press it to access interpretation via that method. Thank you.
Today, for the first hour of this meeting on safe sport in Canada, our witness will be from the Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner. We have Sarah-Ève Pelletier, the sport integrity commissioner, by video conference.
Ms. Pelletier, you have five minutes to present. When you have 30 seconds left, I will say “30 seconds”, because sometimes if you're reading something you don't get to look up and see a little flash card showing that.
I'd like you to begin now, please. Welcome, Ms. Pelletier. You have five minutes.
Thank you.
