Thank you, Chair.

Clause 43, which is creating that new section 97.1 in the bill, specifically makes mention of the International Olympic Committee and the International Paralympic Committee. It does make mention of other disciplines, and I understand that through regulations, you're going to fill that in a bit more.

Why did you take the approach to codify the International Olympic Committee and the International Paralympic Committee in the bill, but then leave other disciplines open to interpretation in the regulations? Can you provide some rationale behind that?
