Good afternoon, everyone.
I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting No. 73 of the House of Commons Standing on Canadian Heritage.
I would like to acknowledge that this meeting is taking place on the unceded traditional territory of the Algonquin Anishinabe people.
Today's meeting is taking place 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 require mask wearing indoors, masks and respirators are still excellent tools to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory diseases, so their use is encouraged.
I want to take this opportunity to remind all participants of some basic housekeeping. You cannot take screenshots or photos of your screen. The proceedings will be made available via the House of Commons website, so you don't really need to take screenshots.
There is a globe at the bottom of your screen for those who are on Zoom, and, if you press it, you can get translation in English or French, or the original audio.
Any questions or discussion should be directed through the chair, and please do not speak until I recognize you by name.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Tuesday, September 20, 2022, this committee is meeting to continue its study on safe sport in Canada.
Our witnesses today—
