Thank you, Madam Chair.
There are just a couple of things before I start asking questions.
I wanted to clarify some points that were raised. The women's team is now actually ranked sixth in FIFA rankings, and the men's team is 53rd.
In terms of the money that Sport Canada allocated to the CSA, $805,109 was for core operations, $2,007,350 was via Own the Podium for the women's team, $125,000 was for the next generation initiative—through the women's team, as well—through Own the Podium, and $40,500 was for safety in sports. The vast majority should have gone to the women's team.
I want to come back to something that I think both Monsieur Lemire and I have raised about your participation at the board level. You told me something that shocked me, which was that you have not been asked by the board for your opinion on anything.
Let me ask the question. When Bev Priestman was hired as the women's national coach, were you guys involved in the selection committee in any way?
