First of all, thank you for having us here today. It's an honour to be in front of all of you.
We feel quite disrespected by the way it went about its business this afternoon, but we also don't feel that it's the right place to stoop down to that level, if you will. We're here to speak about this issue. We believe that what was talked about in good faith bargaining between our players association and the association should have stayed between the players association and the Canadian soccer association.
We feel quite disrespected that this wasn't respected, that it didn't stay behind closed doors before that agreement was actually signed. There were terms, numbers and pieces that were in its statement today that have not even been communicated to us. That was a bit of a shock to us, but again, we're excited to be here to talk about this with all of you.
