Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you for the question.
I didn't have that experience as a swimmer, thankfully. I can say that it wasn't my experience when I came up, so it's not something I'm familiar with. I'm thankful for that.
Now, coaches' education and ongoing professional development are crucially important. For our teams, from our high-performance centres to when we take a national team away, there are sets of protocols when it comes to that type of process with regard to calipers and weighing swimmers. That's voluntary. Someone can opt in. They don't need to be part of it if they choose not to be.
It can be used in a scientific way. When it's used in that way, there can be benefit to it. Again, it needs to be optional.
We also work really closely with a great group of integrated sports specialists through the CSI network, both in Ontario as well as Vancouver, as well as through the INS in Quebec. We're working with support specialists where this is their specialty. They're able to provide our coaches with very accurate, up-to-date information. Then we're able to share that beyond that network, down further to our coaches through different collaborations. We also work with the Canadian Swimming Coaches Association in developing, supporting and partnering with them on different educational professional development.
