Madam Chair, thank you for the question.
What we're seeing in sport and what we're seeing as the solution in sport now is to move sport people around into different positions. Having worked internationally and in Canada, I know personally that if I'm friends with someone, it's a lot harder for me to call them out. I have gotten past that now in my job, but it's a lot harder. There is an internal network of everybody knowing each other and everybody trying to protect each other. That's why you have to remove that from sport.
I use the example of anti-doping. I spent 20 years at the World Anti-Doping Agency. As a result of the Dubin inquiry, drug testing was taken away from sporting organizations. It's independent now. We have to do the same thing for abuse in sport.
The second thing is that if you listen to any survivor who has come forward, they are alone. They have no guidance and no support. What we would advocate is a touchpoint so an athlete can come somewhere to get the support, and they will have the guidance and they will make those people doing the investigations accountable.
An independent investigation, I think, could replicate what we have seen with the Dubin inquiry. It needs to be done by non-sport people. It needs to be judicial and it needs to make sure that everybody has the right to tell their story.
The final thing is that those people who were abusers or enablers need to be held accountable. I think that's crucially important.
