Finance committee  I'll speak a little to the difference with some of the other countries. Last week I had the opportunity to tour the WinSport facility in Calgary, one of the best facilities in the world. It continuously needs to be improved. The enhancements to keep it at that state are really i

Finance committee  Thank you for your question. I will answer in English, if I may. It's very important to highlight the lack of physical activity and sport opportunities children and youth currently have access to in the place they spend the most time, which is at school. There are several organ
