Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I would tell you that we seem to have forgotten about one individual in our conversation at this point in time, and that's the young woman. By her request, we have not, obviously, identified her, because she wishes not to be, and she also wishes not to identify any of the players.

Canadian Heritage committee  I would tell you that's true. We have not received a complete report as yet, and with that being said, I can't tell you that we've confirmed a number of players who identified and communicated with the investigation. I don't know that number specifically. I'm going to give you an opportunity to hear a guess, which is that it might have been four to six, and I apologize for not being more succinct.

Canadian Heritage committee  That's four to six who were able to participate in a discussion. Beyond that, I don't know.

Canadian Heritage committee  I can't answer that. I apologize. I don't know for sure, but I can tell you that because of the incomplete report, there is not much more that we have to offer in terms of information along those lines.

Canadian Heritage committee  I can, and if you don't mind, I will ask Mr. Smith to bring a little more definition to my answer.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. No, actually, there is not. I had informed the current chair of the board of Hockey Canada on April 3, 2021, that, with much appreciation, I had chosen not to extend my contract. I am still the CEO of Hockey Canada until June 30, so anything that might suggest that was contrived—and I'm not suggesting you're using those terms— is really coincidental.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. No, because we contacted all players and every team. We had no idea of knowing where to focus our energy at all, and it would have been wrong nonetheless, so we contacted every player and all the teams.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. I believe I heard you ask if the investigation is still under way and who is conducting that investigation. Is that correct?

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you. I'm sorry about that. The investigations right now have been suspended. The investigating team has chosen to close its books on this. There is no investigation at this point in time, and that also helped us understand what would be in the best interests of the young woman and deal with this accordingly.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you. I can't tell you that anyone was instructed to take those photos off of Facebook.

Canadian Heritage committee  We did inform.... I apologize for my memory. I'm sorry, Scott. Thank you.

Canadian Heritage committee  I'm not sure. Scott, thank you.

Canadian Heritage committee  I'm not sure of the exact number, but I know they tried to communicate with every player. I don't know the number for sure, and I apologize for that.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. We became aware of the alleged incident the morning of June 19.

Canadian Heritage committee  There was a call to our vice-president of human resources by, I believe, the individual's step-father.
