Mr. Speaker, we have already imposed some of the strictest penalties and limits on funding toward Hockey Canada. Right now it is for Hockey Canada to understand that it has completely lost any trust or faith among Canadians. The organization must be transformed or, as we are seeing with Hockey Québec, which is saying it is not going to engage with Hockey Canada anymore, more and more organizations across the country are simply going to turn their backs on this organization, which is not worthy of building strong futures for our kids.

Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Prime Minister announced a third of the funding over twice the time needed to rebuild industries and infrastructure in the wake of Fiona's devastation. Small craft harbours alone need a half-billion dollars to rebuild and fortify, while fish harvesters need at least $50 million to cover their losses and damages, not to mention what is needed to rebuild tourism and agriculture. Why is the current Prime Minister letting down Atlantic Canadians who have put so much trust in him?

Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for his question. As Canadians, we are all frustrated and shocked by Hockey Canada's behaviour and by its insensitivity to the real concerns of Canadians, parents and survivors across the country. That is why Hockey Canada has lost the trust not only of our government, not only of Canadian parents, but also of other affiliated organizations such as Hockey Québec. I know that in the coming days, more organizations will say enough is enough and will stop doing business with Hockey Canada. Maybe then Hockey Canada will realize that it is time to get off the ice.
