Liberal MP Anthony Housefather wants Canada Soccer to appear in front of Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage
It appears Canada Soccer may soon join Hockey Canada in coming under the scrutiny of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage.
While Housefather, who represents the Quebec riding of Mount Royal, said while he does not want to prejudge the situation, “it would be good for Canadians to have us help get to the bottom of it.” The Canadian women are demanding the same backing in preparing for this summer’s Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand that the men received last year before Qatar. And they want Canada Soccer to open its books.
Both the men’s and women’s soccer teams want more transparency when it comes to Canada Soccer’s books, including its controversial agreement with Canada Soccer Business, which represents all corporate partnerships and broadcast rights related to Canada Soccer’s core assets including its national teams.
In a statement Monday evening, Canada Soccer Business said it has offered to increase its payments to Canada Soccer. CSB, which said it has invested close to $100 million dollars in the development of soccer, did not specify what the incremental resources would be.“As you saw with Hockey Canada, having access to documents allows you to ask very pointed questions,” he said. “But the main thing here is there’s been a desire from the women’s and the men’s national teams, at the very least, and I think many others across the community to have greater transparency in Canada Soccer.
