Thank you, Madam Chair.
Minister, as you know, in April 2021, my Bloc Québécois colleague, Denis Trudel, the member for Longueuil—Saint-Hubert, put forward a motion requesting that the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage undertake a study pertaining to the establishment of an independent agency to deal with complaints in sports. The motion was adopted unanimously.
In January 2022, my colleague Martin Champoux and I wrote in response to theGlobe and Mail article to support the establishment of this agency. You created it, and I wanted to congratulate you and thank you for your interest in making sports safer for athletes. In the current incident being dealt with, the athletes are not the victims, but rather the assailants.
I'd like to hear what you think about the testimony we heard a little earlier from Hockey Canada management.
