Welcome, everyone.
This is the subcommittee on sport concussions. Pursuant to the motion adopted by the Standing Committee on Health on Thursday, October 4, 2018, the subcommittee is resuming its study of sports-related concussions in Canada.
We have two panels of witnesses here tonight.
First, we welcome Commissioner Ambrosie and his counsel, Mr. Shamie. Commissioner Ambrosie is going to provide an opening statement.
Commissioner, I believe this is your second year at the helm of the CFL. I know that you're pursuing a coast-to-coast-to-coast league. We wish you well with that. Many of us are fans, and we're excited to hear from you today.
This committee, and I speak for all members, is looking to grow sport in Canada. What parents and communities are asking is that they would like to see our arenas, sports fields and all areas of play to be safe for the participants—from the amateur level, the little leagues, all the way up to the majors such as the CFL.
It's great that you are here with us today.
The members are going to have an opportunity to ask you questions. You'll have an opportunity now to make a statement. We look forward to hearing your answers.
The floor is yours, Commissioner.
