I thank the witnesses, who left very few questions for members to ask because their presentation was very comprehensive. What is the status in training or first-aid courses regarding awareness of identifying concussion and awareness of what to do when it is identified? In many instances it will be the first-aid person, rather than a qualified medic, who will make many such decisions. While there is a growing awareness of the whole subject of concussion, this is coming from a position in which there was not sufficient awareness of it. How well has first-aid training moved in respect of having a level of skill in identifying concussion and knowing how to respond to it?
