I think there are a number of different mechanisms that can be put in place to fix some of these problems.
First, I think a key element in what we're seeing is that there has been very little accountability for these coaches who have acted abusively. As my colleague was saying, many of these emotionally and physically abusive coaches are never brought to account, and that's because, first of all, the criminal system will generally not charge them, even though what my colleague described was, in fact, assault. The criminal system will not charge it, and the complaint system that exists within Gymnastics Canada and within these provincial sport bodies is so retraumatizing and so arduous for complainants to go through that many burn out before there's ever a result.
In my case, when I tried to bring my abuse forward in 2021, Gymnastics Canada hired a case manager who told me to my face that I needed to manage my expectations about the outcome, that even though my alleged abuse was incredibly severe, he had seen enough of these investigations to know that I could not expect my coaches to be banned from the sport, and in fact that I could probably not expect them to receive a lengthy suspension.
That is exactly what the problem is: Coaches are allowed to do this with no expectation that they're going to ever be held to account by the organization itself.
