Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It's certainly a good testimonial to have doctors on both sides of the issue and it's most helpful. I thank you for your testimony.
Dr. Reid, it's clear that the CMA is opposed to mixed martial arts. I note that you're looking at the blunt head injury in particular and your perceived, at least, intent that the purpose of the sport is actually to injure people.
We know that your association is against the sport because it doesn't like the fighting techniques of striking and kicking, but the CMA, as you've told us, encourages traditional martial arts, which are certainly not for wimps. Karate is a pretty violent sport. What's the primary concern? Why is it that you can support the traditional martial arts, yet not this sport?
