OTTAWA – Coming off what many committee members characterized as the first positive hearings in Parliament’s Hockey Canada investigation, the next steps are up to Hockey Canada itself, according to one MP.
This was in stark contrast to previous hearings, where Hockey Canada CEO Scott Smith and interim chair Andrea Skinner appeared defensive and, in the eyes of some MPs, combative during their testimony. Smith and Skinner left Hockey Canada shortly after their appearances, and the entire board of directors resigned after the hearings in October.
“My hope is that the committee pivot, if that’s the will of the committee, to continue, and I think it should. We need to hear from other other sports organizations, such as Gymnastics Canada, we need to hear from experts, we need to hear from people who’ve been involved, people have been hurt by these organizations because in terms of Canadians’ trust in Hockey Canada, I don’t know if there’s anywhere left to go,” he said.
No charges have been laid by London, Ont., police in that incident. An incident in 2003 in Halifax, allegedly involving members of Canada’s world junior team, is also being investigated. None of the allegations have been proved in court.
