Thank you, Madam Chair.
First, I thank all four of you for being here today. It is so appreciated. You've done Canada so proud on the field: bronze in 2012 and 2016, gold in 2021, and all the other victories. Thank you.
By being here today, as Marilyn mentioned, not only are we shedding light on stuff, but we can also deal with transparency and governance. We're mandated to look at all the federations and see how they can improve transparency and governance. One thing we can do, and which we have done, is summon the contract—the CBA—so we can actually see it. To the extent we want to share those terms.... We're not just going to read about it in The Globe and Mail, in terms of what it may or may not say.
Let me ask you a few questions.
One, did anyone try to discourage you from coming here to testify before the committee today, whether Canada Soccer, Concacaf or FIFA?
