I see.
In 2018, the Own the Podium program was placed under the patronage of former Governor General Ms. Payette.
The Canadian Olympic Committee didn't immediately contact the Privy Council to inform it of its concerns regarding Ms. Payette's appointment as Governor General. It could have done so, and that might have prevented certain awkward situations for Canadians. In 2020, the Privy Council made an independent third party responsible for shedding light on the treatment of Rideau Hall employees who claimed that the Governor General had publicly demeaned, reprimanded or humiliated them.
After everything we've seen to date in more than 16 sports federations, how could we expect those federations to act differently if Canada's highest sports body, the Canadian Olympic Committee, didn't automatically sound the alarm when it was necessary, particularly as a result of its connection with the Own the Podium program? What message does that send to Canadians? Could the Canadian Olympic Committee find itself in that situation once again?
