Thank you, Chair.
I would like to thank our witnesses for their testimony today.
I'd like to start my questions to Mr. Nicholson.
You said in your opening statement that we didn't go far enough on off-ice conduct, and that you wanted a culture where everyone feels safe and welcome in hockey. But you also seem to still support the existence of these reserve funds. I'm wondering if you agree that when you have a fund that pays off victims so that perpetrators don't have to face any consequences for sexual assault, you are not only condoning that behaviour, but you are enabling it, you are institutionalizing it.
Do you agree?
