Parliamentary hearing on Canada Soccer turns testy with Crooks' veracity questioned cdnpoli
“I wonder if you’re lying. Are you being totally truthful with us today? Or are you skirting our questions?”Crooks appeared before the committee by video conference.
The former track star beat out former Canada Soccer vice-president Rob Newman for the top elected job at the governing body’s annual meeting last weekend in Saint John, N.B. Crooks had been summoned to testify before the parliamentary committee last week, but her appearance was delayed because the scheduled hearing clashed with the annual meeting.
Crooks used her opening statement to detail her past accomplishments and offer some direction on her future as the “newly elected volunteer” president of Canada Soccer. Crooks listed her “key priorities” for Canada Soccer as realizing pay equity, managing national team budgets to ensure success, holding discussions with Canadian Soccer Business “to ensure both parties benefit equally from this partnership,” getting more players and people from the business world engaged in the governing body’s governance, providing more voting power for members and ensuring “full administrative and financial transparency.
