Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mrs. Macfarlane, let me begin by thanking you for your work, which we can acknowledge and recognize today. My team and I thank you for your dedication to this cause.
Today you have seen a part of our work.
I am shocked by the image protection operation orchestrated by Hockey Canada and the inaction by its managers. Last year, when we began this study, I said that the use of non-disclosure agreements was abusive. I thought the timing of your statement was especially interesting.
Do you support the idea of an independent public inquiry to shed light on the abuse we see in all sports, not just hockey or soccer?
I think that you follow the work of our committee and even that of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women.
