The first thing will be to make signing on with the Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner mandatory for all sports organizations that are funded by the federal government. We are doing this so that athletes have a place where they can file their complaint and explain their situation. Professionals will be able to conduct an investigation and impose sanctions or make recommendations concerning complaints. Obviously, the goal of all this is to improve the sports system in Canada to make sure that athletes and witnesses feel that they are able to speak, that they must speak and report cases of assault and abuse. Our other job will be to review the entire funding system.
As I explained, the connection between myself and the sports organizations we fund are the contribution agreements. Using those agreements, we are going to raise the governance, transparency and accountability threshold. We want to make sure that the recommendations made by the Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner are actually implemented within sports organizations and that this produces results.
