In my discussions with athletes, I was told that psychological support was often performance-based, meaning it was more about helping them outdo themselves. We've made $2.4 million available on an emergency basis so that teams are in place when associations are in crisis, as we saw with the national gymnastics team and Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton, to help athletes and give them the psychological support they need, not just as athletes but as people, as individuals.
