OTTAWA — Hockey Canada’s federal funding restoration is under fire from opposition MPs, who believe the decision was premature and lacked conditions to protect…
NDP MP Peter Julian shared a similar sentiment.
Waugh also said the removal of non-disclosure agreements should “absolutely” have been one of the conditions in providing Hockey Canada funding again. When asked why the conditions of Hockey Canada getting its funding back didn’t involve the stoppage in use of non-disclosure agreements, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he’d defer to St-Onge on answering such questions but that parents need to know change is happening.
“So we need to find the right balance. But like I said, they should never be used to silence victims.”The parliamentary committee unanimously passed a motion ordering Hockey Canada to hand over a report from an investigation into the sexual assault allegations of the 2018 world junior team on March 27. The motion, tabled by Waugh to open a Heritage committee meeting on safe sport, ordered Hockey Canada to provide the law firm’s completed report by the following day.
“In other words, we’re trusting her or Hockey Canada or another organization stemming from that. Because ultimately, there is no public transparency.”
