Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Going to your concussion protocol for a second, you talked about visible signs of distress. I'm not sure if this is up to date, but the concussion protocol doesn't require the removal of a player who is slow to get up from a hit to the head from a goalpost, the boards, the glass, or even another player's elbow.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  I got you. Thank you. We think about the trickle-down effect. We think about NHL up here. A lot of young kids would emulate the things they see in the NHL. Do you think the NHL has a responsibility to boys and girls playing the game?

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Thank you, folks. I appreciate your being here, Commissioner Bettman and Deputy Commissioner Daly. Thank you very much. You are our last witnesses. Mr. Bettman, you probably recall that U.S. senator Richard Blumenthal wrote a letter to you regarding the link between concussions and CTE.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Thank you for that. The NFL feels there's a link. I know you've said that NFL football is not the same as NHL hockey, and I get that, but they're both very fast, high-energy sports.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Good. That is good news. The subcommittee has heard about the need or the desire for a concussion awareness week. I'm interested in your thoughts. I'm also interested in the Public Health Agency's thoughts on something like that, concerning bringing it to the forefront for public awareness, but also what type of role both of your groups may have in a week like that, a national concussion awareness week.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  For Sport Canada, I'm interested in how you're going to reach out towards or integrate with school sport.
