Canadian Heritage committee I would like to be able to give you more detail on that. I didn't have day-to-day access. I wasn't dealing with insurance and risk management back to the branches. We had insurance committee people. We had insurance staff as well as legal staff who would deal with that. With reg

Canadian Heritage committee Again, I'll try to go quickly over the timelines. On July 7, I heard of this rumour. On July 8, I called a couple of staff with Hockey Canada to find out if they knew about the rumour. They did not. I was then notified on July 22 that Hockey Canada was issuing a statement about

Canadian Heritage committee Let me start, first of all, with the rings. Everyone who was involved with the team got a ring. Over my period, we once bought them for the entire board. Maybe it was twice, Peter. I honestly can't remember, but it would have been once or twice. We had board members who were wit

Canadian Heritage committee On that question.... You know what? I wish I could go back. I wish I could have put more policies in. My job as CEO was to run the operations. Policies came from the board. I'm not deflecting that back to the board. I was the CEO and I should have been encouraging more policies.

Canadian Heritage committee That's a very good question. I'm thinking about it right now. You know what? I was directed to sign those agreements from recommendations from our lawyers, from our risk management, from our insurance people. We took the settlements back to the board and then I would sign it.

Canadian Heritage committee I can't speak to each one of those documents. In the majority of my time with Hockey Canada, we had people from the government, from Sport Canada, sitting at our table. We met with Sport Canada individuals on an ongoing basis. With regard to all of the documents, all the bylaws,

Bob Nicholson
Canadian Heritage committee Yes. I really thought we did. I don't have the financial statements in front of me, Rachael. I felt that we gave those to our members. If they're not in our financial statements that you received from Hockey Canada, then obviously they weren't given out to them.

Canadian Heritage committee I think any of those funds are important. At the time, we were really trying to make sure they were there for our 13 members, who then deliver that information to the grassroots and all of the minor hockey associations. It was important for us to do that at our board table at tha
