I think that is an excellent question.
Sport Canada financially supports women's teams. That said, if the money has not been going to women's teams, the minister is going to have to look into the situation, as that would be unacceptable. Generally, women's sports should be funded the same as men's sports.
Of course, Hockey Canada receives a lot of money from the private sector. As we can see, the money is spent more on meeting the needs of men's teams. That's where the governance of Hockey Canada is important, to make sure we bring equality back to the system.
