Canadian sport federations and organizations are independent self-run entities. Their relationship with the Canadian government is based on contribution agreements. We have a financial relationship with them.
As someone in a leadership position, I intend to demand change. I also intend to use the contribution agreements to raise the threshold for compliance, so that federally funded sport organizations and federations have to meet more stringent requirements. The idea is to encourage them to adopt better governance, prevention and education practices when it comes to violence, abuse and maltreatment in sport. I also expect greater accountability on their part.
