Ottawa plans to revisit funding structure and launch independent office to probe allegations of abuse and maltreatment
saying problems with sexual, physical and emotional abuse had not been dealt with in their sport.
In January, Ms. St-Onge said she would make the new independent complaints and investigation system mandatory for NSOs, removing the previous system where these organizations could opt out of the process and use their own investigators to handle cases, if they chose. “We’re now all focused on the next steps,” Ms. St-Onge said. “We need to make sure that sport is safe at all levels – whether it is community, amateur or national level.”
The meeting included David Shoemaker, chief executive officer of the Canadian Olympic Committee ; Karen O’Neill, CEO of the Canadian Paralympic Committee ; and Anne Merklinger, CEO of Own the Podium, a federal funding body for Olympic programs.
