Currently, the funding system in Canada is based very much on medal potential, especially short-term medal potential.
In other countries, there are funding systems that are based on potential within a 12‑year time horizon, for example, or on an athlete's development plan for the next 12 to 15 years.
When you're in an Olympic cycle, you're looking at medal potential at the next Olympics. So we're in a very high performance system. That doesn't leave time for people at lower levels to put everything in place to ultimately get to sustainable results over time. That's what I'm referring to mostly when I say the funding system is problematic.
