Status of Women committee  I'm sorry. Which coach are you referring to?

Status of Women committee  Mr. Bard was not at the Tokyo Olympics.

Status of Women committee  I was aware of concerns with respect to some of his behaviour, and we dealt with those concerns.

Status of Women committee  There's an element of confidentiality, I would suggest, in some of this. I don't know whether I'm allowed to breach that. There was certainly a code-of-conduct issue in regard to one incident that occurred at a social event. As such, it was dealt with as any other code-of-conduct issue for any other individual would be.

Status of Women committee  With respect to Mr. Bard, that is, to date, the only complaint I have on file.

Status of Women committee  I'm sorry, but I would just like to clarify. With respect to the formal complaint that came forward, which ultimately resulted in the termination of his contract, yes, that individual did not come to me but it came through a board member. The decision was made collectively to terminate him based on that.

Status of Women committee  No, that's not correct. It was a contractual matter that was dealt with. This was not an issue of abuse and maltreatment. This was a code-of-conduct issue.

Status of Women committee  That's fair. I totally understand the confusion. Obviously our system is based on a whole series of policies and procedures. We have to follow those policies and procedures based on that requirement.

Status of Women committee  Yes.

Status of Women committee  That's no problem at all. We receive essentially a core grant, like many national sport bodies do. That has been the same for the last decade. It's roughly a million dollars a year. We also get what they call top-up funding through the Own the Podium process, which is a combination of Sport Canada and Olympic committee money.

Status of Women committee  Yes.

Status of Women committee  That's correct as well. Yes. We get eight dollars per participant across the country.

Status of Women committee  I believe you're referring to Alex Bard. I am fully aware of those situations, of course, because I was central, certainly to the Alex Bard matter. As in every decision I take, it was based on facts. As such, I made decisions related to Alex Bard's position initially and then the contractual termination based on the facts I had available to me.

Status of Women committee  It is a very difficult scenario, of course. I'm in a position in which I have to ensure that there is due process in everything we do, which is based on facts. While allegations come forward, they have to be based on factual evidence. When the decision was ultimately made in regard to Mr.

Status of Women committee  There was ultimately one complaint filed, and action was taken. It was not in respect to abuse and maltreatment.
