Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Certainly. It may be the insurance-based form that you're talking about. We require that to be completed in a claim situation, and certainly there's always the challenge of getting it completed efficiently. There's always the challenge that players have to go see a physician in order to get that completed.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Yes. It is meant for physicians. There's no question that we do get other entities filling out that form, depending a lot of times on what the injury is as well.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  The role, from Hockey Canada's standpoint, is to make sure that we are influencing our culture at the amateur level and, as you said, spreading the message that fighting is against the rules, we don't want to see fighting, and it's not tolerated.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  That statement was one we put together in conjunction with each other.
