Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I also want to thank the witnesses who are here today.
You contribute a great deal, all three of you, to the committee's deliberations.
The federal government just renewed funding for Hockey Canada, even though it did not change its position on non-disclosure agreements. I think this renewal is premature.
I will ask you the same question I asked earlier.
Do you think it is healthy for the federal government to allow Hockey Canada to believe that even though an organization has not changed its ethical stance on non-disclosure agreements, it can still get public funding?
Hockey Canada is now receiving funding from the federal government, after a suspension, even though they have not backed off from signing non-disclosure agreements. This is something that came up repeatedly in the Hockey Canada hearings we have had.
My question is very simple. Is it appropriate for the federal government to be financing Hockey Canada when they have not made any sort of commitment to stop the pressure of signing non-disclosure agreements on victims of sexual abuse or sexual violence?
