Canadian Heritage committee  Quickly, I heard a reference that Canadian women's hockey could have been—

Canadian Heritage committee  —better funded had a separate fund not existed for uninsurable claims. What do you make of that?

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Chair. Through you, thank you to the minister for being here to answer our questions today. One of the things that was revealed through the media since your last appearance before this committee was the idea that Hockey Canada had a fund for uninsurable emergencies.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you. You mentioned this a bit in your opening statement, but can you describe for us your reaction to Hockey Canada's response to the news and the committee's work here, and the steps that Hockey Canada is going to put in place, or says it's going to put in place, to address these cultural issues?

Canadian Heritage committee  —does not participate in the investigation.

Canadian Heritage committee  Just to clarify.... There are repercussions this time if a player—

Canadian Heritage committee  The complainant, or the survivor in this instance, did sign a non-disclosure agreement. Did that play any role in your investigation? If we look at the non-disclosure agreement, we see that she wasn't supposed to talk to anyone. There's no police or investigator exclusion from that non-disclosure agreement.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you. Since you've resumed your investigation, do you have any sense of how many of the 19 players will be willing to speak to you and participate in the investigation?

Canadian Heritage committee  In your experience in conducting investigations, was there anything unusual about this investigation—any unusual parameters or expectations or direction given by Hockey Canada—that you would say is somewhat different from other investigations that you've conducted?

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Thank you for your testimony here today, Ms. Robitaille. I'm also kind of seized with the issue that we heard from my colleague Ms. Vecchio, namely that everything stopped when the complainant didn't feel comfortable speaking to anyone. I'm wondering if you can reflect on that a bit more.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Chair. I'm wondering what you take from the evidence we've heard today that many players who may have been involved didn't participate in the investigation. What do you think that says, and what do you think it means?

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. I think the last question had to do with culture in hockey, and that's exactly where I was going to go anyway. The minister, as we know, has said that the culture in hockey has to change. You made comments to that effect today. I'm wondering if you can describe what about the hockey culture needs to change.

Canadian Heritage committee  To follow up, I think we've heard today that you've been dealing with one to two cases a year. I'm sure we all know that not all cases get reported. Not all cases are known about. How widespread is this problem?

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Chair. I would like to ask for some clarification from staff as to whether this amendment would have unintended consequences. As a former community broadcaster, I'm concerned that this is putting a lot of constraints and rules on community broadcasters. We want to support them and we want to make sure that they're doing their job effectively.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Chair. Maybe I'm confused, but in reading this amendment, it looks like it's actually diminishing the requirements of broadcasters to provide descriptive video and closed captioning services, because right now it's mandatory. This legislation looks like you're making them provide those services whenever possible.
