The Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage has received a series of documents from Hockey Canada related to the organization's handling of 2018 sexual assault allegations and will meet on Monday to determine next steps.
The Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage has received a series of documents from Hockey Canada related to the organization’s handling of 2018 sexual assault allegations and the settlement of the lawsuit that followed.
“Some of it is confidential. Some of it is privileged. And so we have to decide what we do, because we’re having public meetings,” the Hon. Hedy Fry, member of Parliament for Vancouver Centre and chair of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage, told CityNews Parliament Hill Bureau Chief Cormac Mac Sweeney on Friday.
She said “everything is on track” for the upcoming hearings, and was clear about the committee’s goal: “I think that if anybody watched the first set of hearings, they will realize that the committee, without exception, every political party in that committee were concerned and felt that our questions had not been answered appropriately,” said Fry of the June 20 testimony. “That’s why we’re calling them back and we’re calling more people as well. And we’re trying to get ahold of certain documents.
