Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  That goes to my next question. I'll give you a little bit of a chance to think about it because I'm going to touch base with Kathy, Matthew and Ash on this question. How are mental health needs addressed as compared to physical needs? I'll give you a minute to think about that

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Matthew, do you want to talk to me about mental health needs, or do you want to talk to me about what you think the changes to the game should look like? I just want to point out what I mean by changes to the game. I mean changes not just at the amateur level because no matter wh

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Thank you. I'll go back to the Phairs now. Carter, I don't know if you want to speak, or if you want to let Anne go first.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. My first question is for Carter. For you to return to the game now, can you describe to this committee, if you have any uncertain terms, what the terms would be? What would this game look like if you were to return?

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  How hard was it to have the mental health taken seriously? Maybe I'm assuming what I shouldn't, but I know that with a young female concussion patient it could be “Oh, you're having mental health issues. It's the wrong time of the month” or “Teenage girls are moody.” Was that a

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I'd like to hear a bit more about your support system and the information sharing in the medical community, the people you spoke to. It strikes me that each of you.... There's a saying that I see is true, that when you've seen one concussion, you

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Chris, go ahead.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Understood. Sharra, can you share with us really quickly some of the functional neurology treatment that Carly had? Was that covered?

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Thank you very much, everyone, for your testimony today. I hope I'll be able to give you all an opportunity to say some of the things you haven't said or to go a little deeper. I'm going to ask a broad question for all of you. You can take up the rest of my time. We'll just be n

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Carly, go ahead.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Sharra, go ahead.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Earlier, you posed a voice—I guess it would be “we” or some other voice—saying, “Tell me what you're doing in your game.” I guess it's a matter of asking or insisting. Why do you think we're so hesitant to talk about a regulatory approach?

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  You're absolutely right. I myself have submitted for the witness list young athletes and their parents—as I know all of my colleagues here have—so that we can actually have them articulate their experiences. I'm sure you know that it's not really the first time we've had these di

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  I'm good.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Thank you very much, Mr. Dryden, for sharing your thoughts with us today to kick this off. Like my colleagues who have spoken before me, I want to reiterate how important it is to have someone like you, who is a sports icon, to come and help us
