Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
Senator, colleague, thank you both for being here today.
I come from Halifax, which is known as a boxing city. Boxing has been very popular in Halifax for many years.
One of the things that struck me as you were talking, Senator, was this question of the tap-out, and how it might differ from throwing in the towel. I recognize that throwing in the towel is what the boxers' managers would normally do, rather than the boxers themselves, and that may be the main distinction.
Do you know whether there is any evidence to suggest that there are fewer blows to the head in mixed martial arts than in boxing, and would that account for the statistics you refer to from Edmonton?
