Canadian Heritage committee The information that goes into the tracking document indicates whether the incident was reported to police—if known—but Sport Canada does not determine whether the incident is of a criminal nature or not.

Canadian Heritage committee When we learned that the lawsuit had been settled, we immediately wanted to find out whether public funds had been used, so we initiated the audit, which is within the minister's authority. We took steps immediately to find out whether public money had been used to settle the case.

Canadian Heritage committee It's very hard to answer that question at this time.

Canadian Heritage committee Hockey Canada officials gave us confirmation that the organization planned to become a signatory. The issue now is implementation, but no time frame has been set.

Canadian Heritage committee The financial reports we receive pertain to the organization's funding and how that money is allocated. I'm not sure which transfers you're referring to, but the financial reports usually lay out event revenues and expenditures.

Michel Ruest
Canadian Heritage committee I can't answer that. I don't have that information with me.
July 26th, 2022Committee meeting
Michel Ruest
Canadian Heritage committee I've taken note of it, Madam Chair.
July 26th, 2022Committee meeting
Michel Ruest
Canadian Heritage committee As I explained, the senior program analyst's role was to ensure that the requirements had been met. She received that information from Hockey Canada. That is basically what she would have known about the events that occurred in June 2018.

Michel Ruest
Canadian Heritage committee In June, we undertook a financial audit to see whether any public money had been used to settle the lawsuit. That was the first requirement, and until that audit is complete, no new funding will be approved and no funds will be provided. Two other requirements were laid out. The second was that the organization had to become a signatory to the newly formed Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner, or OSIC.

Michel Ruest
Canadian Heritage committee It's now a condition of funding, so if Hockey Canada decided not to do so, we would not be in a position to fund them.

Canadian Heritage committee Our contribution agreements stipulate that complainants must have access to a third party to review complaints and conduct investigations as needed. That is the requirement we are examining.
July 26th, 2022Committee meeting
Michel Ruest
Canadian Heritage committee I don't know the answer to that. At Sport Canada, the disclosure process is as follows: the analyst informs the director general, and statistics are provided to those in high-level positions. I can't speculate as to what discussions may have taken place.
