“We dealt with our ‘financial obligations’ by addressing claim and reports of potential claims in an upfront manner.” Kirsty Duncan, Minister of Science and Sport from 2015 to 2019, said she didn’t receive Hockey Canada’s email addressed to Michael Paramathasan, a former senior policy adviser for the sport minister, when it was sent Oct. 29, 2019.
McCurdie wrote that what was unlikely to be known by most Hockey Canada members, “or the Canadian sport system as a whole, is that we also bought an insurance product to deal with sexual abuse/misconduct claims on a retroactive basis.” “If we were to be impeded by a ‘sport process’ by which we needed to go through a reporting and approval mechanism by some, as yet unnamed third party organization, we firmly believe irreparable harm could have been levied upon us,” he continued.
