I have looked at all of the information that went to the National Hockey League. I certainly did read his statement, and I also had a briefing from the National Hockey League on all of their findings. I don't have all the dealings of the National Hockey League, but I certainly have a good majority of their investigation. And again, respect, the word you used, is so important--respect in this room, respect on the ice--and it's what we try to instill in every program that we run in Hockey Canada with coaches, players, and referees. And we should respect the rights of Shane Doan.
I can't emphasize that enough. A lot of you may not know him. I've known Shane Doan since he was 17 years old--that's 14 years. He has represented our country eight times. He's a Christian. He said some words; he's said “fudge” quite a few times in his life. But talk to every player who has ever put on a jersey with Shane Doan. Please do that. I ask you, when you start to criticize an individual who is a proud Canadian, who goes over there and represents every youngster in this game of hockey in our country, and we put him through what we did, just before the Olympics, and now....
I get very emotional. He is a person we should not be talking about in this way.
