The Standing Committee on the Status of Women recommends that the government of Canada establish a national review process to determine whether a national sport organization can receive federal funding under the Sport Support Program.
Part of the recommendation – among the 24 made by the committee in a report based on its study on the experience of women and girls in sport – is based around training requirements for athletes, coaches, and support staff as a prerequisite to receive funding.
The list also included making legislative amendments to grant immunity to some working for the Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner and the Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada for protection and the ability to make decisions without fear of repercussions.
In addition, it recommended the government establish an independent national public inquiry into maltreatment in Canadian sport.
