Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Madam Chair, there have been discussions amongst the parties over the weekend. I think we all were profoundly disturbed by the testimony of Mr. Steven Reed, the former president of Canada Soccer, who came before us last week. We recognize that we've heard from many former presidents of Canada Soccer, but we have not heard from the current president, Charmaine Crooks, who is now running for re-election. I think it is important that we do so as quickly as possible, given what occurred before the committee last week.
Madam Chair, I believe you'll have unanimous consent to the following motion:
That, in relation to the committee's study on safe sport and the testimony we have heard from previous witnesses, that Canada Soccer President, Charmaine Crooks, be summoned to appear before the committee for two hours on Thursday May 4th, to clarify her position on issues surrounding Canada Soccer including responses provided by previous witnesses.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
