Heritage Minister: 'Sport Canada does not provide funding for profit-independent leagues'. MORE:
OTTAWA — It seems the CFL shouldn't be holding its breath for much-needed financial assistance from the Canadian government.
On Wednesday, Conservative MP Kevin Waugh asked Minister of Canadian Heritage, Steven Guilbeault if the government assistance was forthcoming for the CFL. Guilbeault didn't come out and say no directly, but stopped well short of guaranteeing the financial aid. "Sport Canada does not provide funding for profit-independent leagues or those outside of Football Canada's mandate. We encourage organizations in need of assistance to talk to their financial institution and to see what options are available to them."
