Thank you, Mr. Julian.
I have to recognize that we do have a sports minister. I am grateful that she actually brought safe sport back onto the agenda. It had disappeared. She brought it back, as has this committee.
I can only talk about my time when I served in the role. As I said, it was difficult. It's not easy to start a new national conversation about things that have been taboo for far too long. It's been taboo to talk about how athletes have been treated as chattel and commodities whose main purpose was to win a medal, and preferably a gold medal. These were taboo subjects.
I really feel that we are at a moment in time. It has taken time to get here. The work you have done has really elevated this conversation. This is the time. We cannot afford to lose this moment. Our athletes are waiting. They've been waiting for 50 years.
