Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Madam Minister, thank you for being here today.
I'm going to come at this a little bit from the aspect of a coach. I've coached my kids in all their hockey for five or six years. I'm a father of three: a six-year-old, a seven-year-old and a nine-year-old. I'm not sure how I as a parent would handle some of the things we've talked about.
You mentioned that there should be a national registry of certified coaches. I find that the government always looks at tackling people who follow the rules and not those who don't, so why couldn't we have a registry of coaches who have been charged with assault so that those coaches can never again coach kids? I think that's a good place to start.
I also want to know if there's anything that traces international coaches. In gymnastics, we hire coaches from other countries. How do we know, when they get to Canada, if our kids are in jeopardy?
