Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for being here today.
I'll start with Nick Bontis.
For full disclosure, Nick, we go back many years, of course, in Hamilton. In my years at CHCH, you were a main business commentator related to your role at McMaster University. I don't know if you still play the same role, but Bontis on Business was a regular segment on CHCH.
We've spoken over the years also about your involvement in soccer. I have to say that it was with great disappointment that I heard at this committee some of the comments that Christine Sinclair heard from you, in part because you're also involved at the local level, in the smaller clubs and with the kids who are coming up.
The young girls who are playing soccer on Hamilton Mountain and getting together at Mohawk Sports Park look up to people like Christine Sinclair. This is someone who is at the top of her game in the world. She is a hero to so many Canadians.
What message do you think it sends to those young kids playing soccer when they see someone who is at the top of her game still feeling disrespected by the board at Canada Soccer?
