Rowan's law was just passed in Ontario. There was a group of 12 or 14 of us, led by Dr. Dan Cass, and we were told to come up with solutions. We did so over the course of that year. We had in mind that what we'd submitted was something that didn't just look at the highly populated areas of Ontario. We thought it could be spread throughout Canada—I don't want to say "at a floor level”, but something that's attainable.
We did that. We worked hard at it, and we submitted it. I'm a bit confused now about where Rowan's law stands in Ontario. It was really something fantastic, so hopefully the provincial government there has a plan up its sleeve and it can start to be rolled out.
There are a number of things in there that we thought we addressed. One of them was making sure that in the schooling system, the medical schooling system in particular, everyone was getting hours based on learning about concussion. What we saw in the past was that people were sustaining concussions, and because they needed to have clearance, they were not being honest and open about their situation.
The lineup to get in to the doctor was two weeks. Once you get in, it's another.... It was just too much. How can we make this more widespread, so that people can come in and get out, and see the professionals they need?
Our research is so far behind that it does not take weeks to be quite up to date on concussion. Unfortunately, we're pretty much up to date in a four- or five-hour video on the topic. I would like to see that changed as well, but anyway, we have what we have. I'd just like to see it more widespread.
