"The Future of Sport in Canada Commission, led by former Chief Justice Lise Maisonneuve, has issued nearly 100 calls to action that range from immediately increasing funding to the sport system, to a long-term goal of creating a “centralized sport entity” to oversee sport in Canada.

“As we examined the Canadian sport system, it became very clear that the challenges in Canadian sport are profound — from underfunding and governance deficits, duplication of efforts among organizations, fragmentation and a lack of integration of policies and programs, to an unhealthy focus on high-performance outcomes over participant safety and dignity,” Maisonneuve wrote in her report."

A commission studying the future of sport in Canada has called for sweeping change to the way sport is structured, after its work found “the widespread presence of maltreatment and abuse” in a poorly resourced and organized system.

"Fifty-one per cent of harassment complaints in the federal government target managers or supervisors. This figure is only 31 per cent in federally regulated private companies such as those in the transportation or financial services sector."

1️⃣ 13% increase between 2023 and 2024; double the number of sexual (versus other forms) of harassment

2️⃣ Call for better training than the course used "WMT 101"(Genevieve Desmarais) which is inadequate: "The issue of sexual harassment is buried in all the training on psychological harassment"

3️⃣ Call for disciplinary measures arising from investigations (Pascale Leroy): ""It's going to require people being very bold and very aggressive, and almost making examples of individuals, in order to make something change." https://hubs.ly/Q045mNvP0

Harassment cases in the federal government more often involve managers or people in positions of authority than in several parts of the private sector, according to the latest figures published by the government.
