Minister Pascale St-Onge restored funding – with conditions – on Sunday before the Canadian women’s team’s gold-medal game against the U.S.
Hockey Canada’s federal funding restoration is under fire from opposition MPs, who believe the decision was premature and lacked conditions to protect victims.
“For example, they promised last summer that they would release victims from non-disclosure agreements, which muzzle victims who choose to speak. Victims are not obliged to speak but if they choose to speak, they’re muzzled legally and Hockey Canada hasn’t released the victims from this.” “The sport minister should make it available to all 63 national sport organizations that we don’t have any of these non-disclosure agreements.”
“They have indicated a real willingness to move forward on that. But we are going to continue to be extremely vigilant around ensuring that they continue to be worthy of the trust that millions of Canadians put in them, as we encourage our kids to play sports, and specifically hockey.”“We’re going to deal with this question not only with Hockey Canada but for all Canadian sports organizations,” St-Onge said.
“Should we have absolute trust? Minister St-Onge says ‘Well, we’re not signing a blank cheque to Hockey Canada.’ Would we be signing a blank cheque to minister St-Onge if we don’t react to this?” Lemire questioned.
