Thank you all for coming.
My first question will be for Mr. Baumann from the Canadian Olympic Committee, on how to assist our athletes. I think that most people would agree in saying that they need a little help.
I would like to ask you about something that is not in your brief but that I am concerned about, and that is bilingualism amongst Canadian athletes. We all know that some concerns exist regarding this issue. Several Quebec athletes, and even francophones outside Quebec, have experienced problems, and have stated that they were or felt they were at times victims of discrimination.
What measures are you taking to ensure that francophone athletes feel comfortable developing their careers in Canada?
