Good morning, everyone.
I'd like to start this meeting. I will chair the full two hours here this morning.
I welcome everyone to meeting 85 of the House of Commons Standing Committee 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. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Tuesday, September 20, 2022, the committee is meeting to continue its study on safe sport in Canada.
We have a number of guests on video conference.
You will see on the lower right side of your screen a globe, and that is for interpretation—English and French—and you make your choice on that, Kelly and Rebecca, as you are on video conference here with us today.
For the first hour, we have Kristen Worley, a former elite athlete and advocate. She's with us live.
Thank you, Kristen.
We also have, from My Voice, My Choice, Kelly Favro by video conference, the co-founder, and Jessica Gaertner, advocate.
Moreover, from The Spirit of Trust, we have Rebecca Khoury, the founder. She is also here by video conference.
The three groups will have five minutes each to start their presentation.
Ms. Worley, you may now proceed with your five-minute opening statement. Thank you.
