Future of Sport in Canada Commission to host sessions in December in Victoria and Vancouver
The Future of Sport in Canada Commission starts tackling the country’s safe-sport crisis later this month with the first of nine hearings.
Bloc-Québécois MP Sebastien Lemire continued to urge for a public inquiry Thursday in the House of Commons. “Given that sport is a shared jurisdiction between municipal and regional, territorial, provincial governments and jurisdictions, a public inquiry would have required months of negotiating with provinces,” he said. “With the commission, the work is already underway.”
Canada’s high-performance sport system has undergone a reckoning since athletes exited Beijing’s Winter Olympics in 2022. Revelations that Hockey Canada had reached a settlement with the complainant and that the organization used a portion of registration fees to pay out such settlements, amplified calls for sport culture change.Qualtrough has compared the sport commission’s work to that of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which between 2007 and 2015 investigated harm caused by residential schools, and proposed both solutions to that harm and prevention of further abuse of Indigenous Peoples.
