More details in ongoing investigation of Hockey Canada come to light in parliamentary hearing in Ottawa
More and more details of the sexual abuse allegations facing Hockey Canada and members of the 2018 Canadian World Junior team continue to surface, as Hockey Canada officials appeared before Members of Parliament on the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage in Ottawa on Tuesday for the first of two days of hearings.
Standing before the MPs to take questions were Danielle Robitaille of Henein Hutchinson LLP, which was the law firm that Hockey Canada hired to be the third-party investigator for the alleged incident; Sport Minister Pascale St-Onge; and other officials from Sport Canada. The most jarring piece of testimony revealed Tuesday is that Robitaille advised Glen McCurdie, Hockey Canada’s senior vice-president of risk management and insurance, in 2018 that the London Police needed to be contacted immediately. McCurdie responded that he needed to contact senior advisors before acting on that advice.
