Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'm going to start with your mechanism “fair for all”. Well, it's not.
Hockey Canada has a lot of money. They paid probably hundreds of thousands to Henein Hutchison LLP for the investigation. I can tell you that for judo, wrestling and other sports, it's not a level playing field.
Last month we were informed there were 47 complaints filed with NSOs as of June 2022. So when Sport Canada goes through these recommendation, how is this fair? Hockey Canada, soccer, basketball, swimming and other sports have more reserves than any others. How can you sit and tell us that this is a level playing field—because it's not. There is no third party investigation that can pay for softball, that can pay for wrestling. This is flawed by the federal government. I see it. You see it.
How can we protect others who are not in the eight or nine top sports that we have in this country?
