Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you very much for your presentation, Mr. Furlong and Ms. Bolduc.
I'm going to try to describe a process, and I would like you to tell me whether I am right or wrong.
The International Olympic Committee issues a call for cities or countries to bid to hold the games. At that time, it describes the context in which these cities or countries will be required to host the games. The City of Vancouver submitted its bid, together with Canada, in the full knowledge that the IOC would be handling the call for tenders and managing the issue regarding broadcast rights.
In our country's bid, through the City of Vancouver, we state that Canada is the most beautiful country in the world, that it is a bilingual country whose two official languages are French and English, which is also the case for the IOC. The IOC is not a Swiss organization: it is an international organization that deals with all countries in the world. Even the United States did not manage to interfere in the bidding process.
Is my description of the process accurate?
