Thank you for the question.
As you know,
the Canadian sport policy is a policy that is co-developed and co-led and will be co-endorsed by all ministers of the provinces and territories. The policy work is under way. Consultations started to take place this past April. Each jurisdiction across the country was responsible for choosing which people would be consulted on their policy.
There were 14 consultations that took place by the provinces and the territories. An additional 10 consultations took place with targeted stakeholders from coast to coast to coast that represented groups such as coaches, officials, athletes, Black and racialized sport participants and new Canadians. I'm happy to provide the list of who was consulted in that consultation. There was also an extensive online consultation aspect that took place as well. We have, I would say, around 5,000 people who participated in the Canadian sport policy consultations from coast to coast to coast.
There's a really comprehensive “What We Heard" report that was published. It's available on the Sport Information Resource Centre of Canada's website for anybody who would like to have a look at it.
Later this week, ministers will be looking at the foundational aspects of the Canadian sport policy. I think we can all anticipate that it will be strongly grounded in values that we want to see as the road map for the next 10 years for where we want the sport system to be going.
Further, this year we can anticipate that federal-provincial-territorial ministers will be endorsing the sport policy. There will be action plans developed by each jurisdiction for their own jurisdictional authority and responsibility about their priorities for where they want to go with sport over the next 10 years.
