Federal Minister of Sport Pascale St-Onge said sexual violence “needs to be addressed right at the root” while Bloc, NDP members call for greater scrutiny of Hockey Canada after revelations of second fund for sexual assault claims
Federal Minister of Sport Pascale St-Onge levelled harsh criticism at Hockey Canada Monday, saying the organization treats sexual assault like an insurance problem rather than a systemic issue that needs to be confronted within the organization.
“The other thing it shows is that sexual violence has been treated as an insurance problem at Hockey Canada instead of a systemic problem that needs to be addressed right at the root.” “Two funds in the tens of millions of dollars dedicated to sexual assault settlements, multiple assault cases identified, the more the scandals accumulate, the more they resemble each other. We need to get to the bottom of the organization’s handling of these matters once and for all.” Mr. Lemire said.
“The latest revelations show that Hockey Canada has not been transparent and accountable to the public and particularly to hockey parents.” But the trust was set to be dissolved on May 15, 2020, which was listed in the documents as its intended Division Date. However, in late 2018 and early 2019, Hockey Canada and its members went to court to alter the terms of the trust – ensuring that it would be kept in place until 2039.
