Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Thank you, Mr. Ambrosie, for setting out your statement and your stance for us here. I wonder if you can help us understand a bit better the situation with the CFL. Why has the CFL failed to acknowledge, or refrained from acknowledging, the lin

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  How much time do I have, a minute or two?

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  I appreciate that. You know, Gord—if I can call you Gord—your conviction is so admirable. I don't want to get choked up, and we're going to try to keep it up here, but we get it. Also, as you know, Rowan's story and your passion for this really have motivated this a lot. It's a

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Perfect. Thanks.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Thank you very much. I'll try to be quick. I know this is an emerging issue, and it's quickly evolving, so I don't think we have the best template for how we would roll out these protocols that you're talking about. You mentioned the governmental concussion board in your conclus

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Thank you. Yes, I think that's a given. That's part of our role here, to make sure it is orchestrated at all levels. This leads me to the real question of.... I know you're familiar with Parachute. How can we enhance that, make it mandatory? Or maybe you think I'm misguided to b

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Thank you, Chair. Thank you very much. This is really intriguing. I like seeing how you laid out that our national strategy has to address not just prevention and not just looking at this as a public health issue; there's also the issue of diagnosis. The issue of research comes

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  We'll all get one, right?

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Thank you. Dr. Aubry, I just want to go back and ask you a little more about the consensus statement on concussion in sport. Is this something that you think needs a concerted effort to be updated and adopted? You said that one of the milestones was in 2012. It was the first ti

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Thank you. Dr. Aubry, I know about your involvement—I think it's 22 years—with the Rough Riders. Can you tell us a bit about how you have seen our approach to concussions evolve, what you think some of the milestones or the best practices are and how we should be moving forward?

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Welcome. Thank you very much for contributing to our report and ultimately to our recommendations. I'm making that term clear because previously when I asked a question of one of the witnesses, they didn't really understand the link when I asked what the government's role should

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Does Concussion North apply all of the Parachute Canada guidelines?

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Is the way that the Parachute Canada guidelines are designed...? I don't want to say designed, I don't think. In anticipation of what my colleague Dr. Kitchen was just mentioning—the geographic realities and the availability of doctors—how realistic are these guidelines right now

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  I will give each of you a chance to respond to this. It's with regard to the evidence that you are gathering, the data that you are gathering, and what you're noticing now. I think what we're noticing, as we're doing this study, is that there are some really exemplary and vanguar

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Dr. Marshall, do you see an opportunity for a government role in that?
