Thank you, Madam Chair.
I do feel that OSIC could add some benefit to the Canadian Hockey League, but the issue is that the CHL operates in a vacuum. They don't fall under the NSO Hockey Canada. They're a pro league. NSOs and the federal government are not able to enforce any laws with the CHL. That's evident from my conversation with the previous ministers, where they have informed me that they have no jurisdiction over the Canadian Hockey League. In order for that to happen, there would have to be some governance changes within the policies of the federal government and the NSOs to bring the CHL in under that umbrella.
My position is that the Canadian Hockey League is a professional ice hockey league. It's a pro sport business, and I don't believe they fall under those kinds of auspices.
