Canadian Heritage committee  I am sorry again, Madam Chair. It only is coming across in French. I'm not getting the English translation.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. I really felt that the legacy I left was that we had way more grassroots programs to include young boys and girls to play in the game. We reached out across the country to make that happen. Also, as I said in my opening statement, there was a merger of t

Canadian Heritage committee  Yes, it is.

Canadian Heritage committee  From an operational standpoint, I do. You know, we had full-time staff who were working in insurance and risk management. They had a committee, and we had representatives from all of our 13 member branches, and then we would take those recommendations to our board.

Canadian Heritage committee  Kevin, thanks for asking that question. That was something that I got involved in. Graham James went to Spain to coach. We contacted the International Ice Hockey Federation at the time, and we contacted Spain and gave them the information about Graham James. It was astonishing,

Canadian Heritage committee  —and I want to work with you to create a healthy environment around our game. With that, I'll do my best to answer your questions. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you for your question. The rumour was conveyed to me by a media person on July 7 at the draft in Montreal. That was the very first time I heard anything about the 2003 incident.
