On Tuesday, November 15, Bob Nicholson appeared before the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage (CHPC). His appearance as a former CEO of Hockey Canada has reopened an old story that has never been fully told, one that may remain a mystery.
The testimony before the CHPC was wide ranging and focused on both current and past business practices of Hockey Canada, as well as their use of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) in general. These legal contracts were also discussed in one particular case. While the hearings into Hockey Canada have largely focused on their response to and payments made regarding claims by victimized people who have been sexually assaulted, the general issue of Hockey Canada’s use of NDAs has come up at past hearings.
