Federal Sport Minister on Hockey Canada's Handling of Sexual Assault Allegations

Canadian Heritage - July 26, 2022:

The committee resumes its study on Hockey Canada's handling of 2018 sexual assault allegations involving members of the national junior team. MPs hear from Danielle Robitaille, a partner with the law firm that conducted a to-be-completed third-party investigation for Hockey Canada, federal Sport Minister Pascale St-Onge, and officials from the Department of Canadian Heritage. The meeting comes amid recent revelations that Hockey Canada used a fund maintained by registration fees to pay for uninsured liabilities, including sexual assault claims. The national governing body for hockey has since announced that it will no longer use the fund to settle sexual assault claims.
