What is the Future of Sport in Canada Commission?
Announced in December, 2023 by former federal sports minister Carla Qualtrough, the commission was among various federal government remedies in response to a wave of maltreatment and abuse reports, both current and historical, that surfaced after the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in Beijing. Qualtrough was under pressure to hold a public inquiry, which she said would take too long.
What did the commission do?
The commission headed by Lise Maisonneuve, a former Chief Justice of the Ontario Court of Justice, conducted cross-country consultations, gathered data from a public survey, held a two-part summit in Ottawa and issued an interim report and a final report.
What was the goal?
To make sport safer and improve Canada’s sport system overall.
How much did it cost?
The 2024 federal budget provided $10.6 million over two years to the commission’s work.
What was the timeline?
When Maisonneuve was appointed the commission’s head May 9, 2024, the clock began ticking on its stated 18-month mandate. Maisonneuve was granted an extension to March 31, 2026, for her final report.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 23, 2026.
