Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you all for being here today. We greatly appreciate it.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Okay. Thank you. You've been involved with the parachute organization, I understand. Is that correct?

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  You did specialized training after medical school in a diploma program.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  I appreciate that because that's where I'm leading to now. You're a clinician and I'm a hockey parent, a hockey coach and so on. I've been involved in the sport for many years. I won't tell you how long it's been, but 1976 was when I got my coaching certification. We won't go th

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Let's say we got to that stage with my daughter and I've been referred to you, your clinic specifically. When my daughter comes in that door, who is seeing her right off the bat?

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  The form allows for physicians, for chiropractors and for physical therapists to fill it out and complete it. Is that correct?

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  The form doesn't stipulate that, though, but it does allow for other practitioners to point that out.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Thank you, everybody, for coming. I'll call the meeting to order. We are here in the meeting of the subcommittee for sports concussions.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  We have the PDF.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  We would ask you, then, if you wouldn't mind, to share these slides with us after the fact.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Okay, we do have it. Okay, great. Thank you. Sorry for interrupting.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Thank you very much for your presentation, and thank you for the document. As Mr. Fisher has indicated, it's going to be very helpful for us to go through this and at a more leisurely time to actually have a look and invoice what you've brought forward to us. We're going to sta
