I have heard so many stories since becoming minister that I feel Canada's sport system is in crisis, and I believe stakeholders across the board have to make the necessary changes to support the health and safety of athletes. That includes Sport Canada and the work it does, not to mention how it does that work.
We will be focusing on strengthening Sport Canada's evaluation capacity to make sure sport federations meet the requirements we set out for them. We will also be working with experts. On June 12, I announced a series of measures, including the creation of an athlete advisory committee at Sport Canada. This will make it possible for Sport Canada to obtain advice from athletes and to understand their realities. The advice of experts will help us identify the best way to evaluate compliance.
