I will say that we took steps. The first step we took was that we reported it to the CHL. That fell upon deaf ears. We went to the NSO, which was Hockey Canada. That fell upon deaf ears. We went to the provincial governments. What did the provincial governments do? They changed the laws to favour the NSOs by changing labour laws. Then we went to the federal government and we complained about the issues that Sandy is talking about and why we're here today. Nothing.
This is not just with this minister. This minister has actually taken some action, and we're hopeful for it. We've been reporting this since 2010, with Bal Gosal, and they're the same issues.
When you're talking about the steps we took, the player's last resort was to go to the courts. What happened? We ended up with four major class action lawsuits that have put Hockey Canada in an uninsurable position. For them to be able to access O and D insurance now, it's $2.1 million a year just for the premium. Who's paying for that? It's the amateur system and those players who are participating, and it's all because of the CHL's flawed business model.
