I am concerned about conflicts of interest in Canadian sport right now. This is in situations in which, for example, legal professionals, academics or consulting firms are hired by sport organizations to advise or to provide guidance on evolving their operations. The same entity might be involved with investigations for misconduct. This can lead to pressure—and I think has led to pressure—in minimizing issues. I think this compromises the credibility and impartiality of the organizations and of investigations.
These scenarios should not even be possible. Even if people are acting in good faith, this should not be possible. It's no surprise to me that some entities do not want an inquiry. This is what governance audits help avoid.
