The first thing we need is to rebuild the trust with our association. It has, on multiple occasions, broken our trust. In my opinion, the statement put out today is another indication of how difficult it has been to put trust in them.
The number one thing we have asked for is transparency of finances. We're still unclear on any finances past 2019. Prior to that is important, but especially over the last three years.... We need to know what has been going on in the finances in order to negotiate a collective bargaining agreement that makes sense for them and for us.
For the last 12-plus years, we have been negotiating in the dark. That makes things very difficult for us because, as we stated before, imagine the shock when we heard what they have been able to pay our men's team, after we have been bargaining in good faith for 12 years.
The next thing we need, like Quinn said, is systems of all kinds of things in place in order to make sure this change is lasting and there's accountability in place for whoever is in the leadership at Canada Soccer, so that we don't continue to take steps backward in 2023.... We live in a country that can be a shining beacon of hope for women's teams and federations all over the world in terms of what can be possible in football.
That's one of the main things. How can we put these structures in place to have lasting change?
