Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Thank you. That leads me into my next question, about the King-Devick assessment, which you mentioned in your report. For those of you who don't know, it's a two-minute, quick assessment. It's a very high-sensitivity and high-specificity test, but it also comes with a cost.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Okay, thank you. I still have more time. I thought I was done. I'll very quickly ask another question. In our last committee meeting, Mr. Gordon Stringer was here. His daughter Rowan tragically passed away from a head injury. In Ontario, we have Rowan's law. I will paraphrase

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Doctors, thank you both for being here today. I much appreciate it. Your testimony is very helpful. Dr. McCormack, I've read the recent Canadian Olympic and Paralympic Sport Institute Network...and the paper you published. Included within that, as you ind

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Right. With that said, I'm assuming you're okay with there actually being a pretesting of a number of psychomotor skills, health obviously, orthopaedic and neurologic, having that baseline to start off with, though. Am I correct?

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Would you say that would be of value not just at your level but also when we take that down from the Olympic and Paralympic level to the junior hockey level, to some of the more.... What's the word I'm looking for?

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  In soccer, for example, I mean basically in the high-level performance, whether they be tiered teams, whether they're 12 years old, going all the way up to 18 and 20.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  In a utopian world would it be of value, though, if costs were not an issue?

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  That's great. Thank you. Dr. Gordon, I have my coaching levels in soccer and l also have them in a number of other sports. I can say I don't believe I ever had a concussion playing soccer, although I did break my nose at the age of 18 from an elbow while I was going to head a ba

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Is my time up?

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you again. It's great information. I appreciate it. I'll try to make sure I get both of you involved in the questioning. You talked about—and we've heard this before as well—how in soccer, women have a 50% higher proportion of concussions than men. T

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Dr. McCormack, do you have a response?

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Thank you. One of the things we've heard throughout our study has been on data collection, how sparse it is and how hard it is to do it. We've heard from a couple of organizations that actually have apps that collect data. Some are free; some are costly. The challenge we have i

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Thank you all for being here. Dr. Bishop, it's just like it was back in 1976-81, when I learned from you back then. I appreciate your being here. It's good to see you. This time I think I get to ask the questions. I won't be grading you on this one, by the way. I want to follo

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  You bring up an interesting point. One thing we've heard throughout the study is a question of data: collecting that data, how accurate it is and how easy it is to obtain, with issues of privacy, etc. There are a number of apps out there that do that sort of thing, which allow fo

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  I learned from the best.
