Mr. McLaughlin, they did, and that's the reason I'm so concerned about it, because Justice Cromwell, on page 151 of his report, found no indication that any safety, well-being or wellness initiatives were ever paid for from this fund. Basically, you advised your members that the fund had all kinds of altruistic components in addition to paying out these claims, but it turns out that it wasn't true at all. It turns out that was absolutely false, and he acknowledges that in his report.
Basically, it seems to me that there was a communication strategy to advise the public that the fund had various good things in addition to the negative. That's what scares me.
Let me ask you a different question. In 2014, the financial statement said, “The National Equity Fund balance has been accumulated as a precaution against judgments that may be made against the Association as a result of current or future claims.” That is true. Then, it says, “The Association is currently involved in defending legal actions resulting from accidents and injuries involved in CHA play. Provision has been made for estimated settlements and fees related to these actions.”
In 2015, the wording in the financial statement was changed from “accidents and injuries involved in CHA play” to “defending legal actions resulting from accidents and injuries involved in sanctioned hockey activities”.
Do you know why the change was made from the 2014 to the 2015 financial statement to change “accidents and injuries involved in CHA play” to “accidents and injuries involved in sanctioned hockey activities”?
