Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'd like to thank all of our witnesses, but specifically Ms. Kang and Mr. Taras. My questions are going to be for you.
In every single meeting of this committee on this particular study, we hear a lot of testimony about how crappy this world is. I'm a huge fan of the work you are doing. I'm a former high school teacher. I've worked most of my working life with children. The reason is that I see them as beacons of hope who can still be shaped and influenced in the right way.
I say a big “thank you” and “congratulations” for what you guys have been doing. A big part of the reason it's been working is that you're sending in successful football players to talk to these kids. They see them as role models. We know that role models play a huge role in how people see themselves as they grow up.
You mentioned that men and boys are supposed to be part of the solution. I'm really happy that we've figured out a way to get boys involved.
Do you have any suggestions for how we can get men who are not necessarily at that early stage of learning to buy in to the idea that they need to be not just bystanders, but also part of the solution?
