Madam Speaker, the whole issue of revictimization is absolutely terrible for victims. We heard a bit about that in committee.
Who are these people the minister has appointed to the commission? What do their pasts look like? Do they truly want to shed light on what is happening in the sports world and work for the victims, or would they rather participate in a system that allows people to help friends out in order to hide a chequered past, either theirs or that of someone else?
How is it that coaches were able to participate in Olympic games despite what they had done in the past? That is unacceptable. The only way to put an end to this system is to conduct an independent public inquiry, as called for.
As far as the current commission is concerned, there are doubts about whether the members are truly able to be independent and neutral in order to shed light on this affair and bring about systemic change, as the victims are demanding. We want to get to the bottom of this so that we can make the necessary changes.
