The Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage voted to invite four officials from Hockey Canada and the Hockey Canada Foundation to testify about the settlement of a civil lawsuit in which eight CHL players were accused of sexual assault in 2018.
The following story deals with sexual assault, and may be distressing for some readers.
Liberal MP Chris Bittle, who is part of the Committee and was present for Monday’s proceedings, told Sportsnet that should any individual choose not to accept the invitation, a parliamentary summons will be issued for them to appear before the committee. “This is something that we need to get to the bottom of,” Bittle told Sportsnet Monday, adding that any additional meetings will be accommodated if the need arises. According to information provided by the Heritage Committee clerk before Monday’s vote, the committee can also “request” documents as part of the proceedings.
