Ms. Duncan, it's so good to see you. We miss you. We wish you all the best and a speedy recovery. Thank you for being with us today.
I want to talk to you about what you endeavoured to bring to the sports ministry. We came into this study looking initially at just Hockey Canada, and then, over the course of the past year, the further we looked, the more serious things became. I note that you really made a serious attempt to address these issues well before they were part of the public domain. I thank you for that.
I want to quote from CBC news going back to January 27. You said, to quote the article, that the government failed to build momentum behind your efforts to prevent harassment, abuse and discrimination, and you even faced “push-back” from people within your own government when you made tackling abuse a top priority in your time as sports minister.
Could you describe that a little bit more? You've talked about NSOs and their push-back. Could you talk a bit more about push-back from the government?
