Sports Minister Pascale Saint-Onge once again called for a change in the leadership of the Canadian hockey team following new allegations against the troubled sports body. The Globe and Mail reported on Monday that Hockey Canada had placed player registration fees into a second fund used to cover sexual assault claims and other lawsuits. Speaking to reporters at the Parliament building, Saint-Onge said the latest news shows a lack of transparency and that the organization treated sexual violence as an "insurance problem." It was also revealed in hearings last July that Hockey Canada paid $7.6 million in nine settlements related to sexual assault since 1989. The minister added that the organization's executives need to resign because they cannot rebuild the trust necessary to move forward.
