Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  We decided to make our online training annual, for the reason that we would never go 12 months without any new information being introduced to a coach, whether it be a change of the law of the game or anything from the medical side. The two pieces we have in our training annually online comprise the rugby ready, how you coach the five areas of contact in rugby.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Yes. I don't think there's any single, explicit answer that will reduce and eliminate.... I think there are multiple pieces. I think zero tolerance plays a deterrent part, especially around deliberate contact to the head; around accidental contact, maybe per coaching, per understanding from the player.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  That would be a deal breaker, if I can use that term. With boundaries that we have, high schools will record and clubs will record. Our kids play multiple sports, so a concussion that's recorded in one sport that's going through the stream of a provincial body to the national level doesn't get transferred across to the other sport.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  There is a medical history. There's also literature and documentation that says if you have a concussion or an injury from somewhere else, then report that. It's like many documents, but in regard to the point you made, if there was an app that every sport and school was able to record on, which then took us through the return-to-play and the return-to-learn protocols that identified who are the appropriate medical doctors or medical practitioners, that would be a deal breaker for us.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Sure. These are great questions. From a national sport organization perspective, the only time we hear about an injury is if there's a claim. That's the real approach. We don't hear about a lot of injury recording.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  We only hear about injuries when there's a claim. Our provincial sporting organizations do hold data locally, but that generally is not shared with the national sporting organization. That would be a gap, because what you'd be able to find, if we did have accurate data, is trends that happen across the country.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Yes. Absolutely. If we want to be evidence-based, we have to understand what's happening in our country. There are some pockets of good data collection. For example, we know that there was an eight-week program in Calgary, observed by the University of Calgary. In that eight weeks, 50% of female high school players in rugby had an injury, and 25% of those injuries were concussion-related.
