The parliamentary committee had already asked Canada Soccer to attend a future meeting to be questioned, with Liberal MP Anthony Housefather saying previously that the governing body should be moved “to the top of the list” given the ongoing labour impasse with the men's and women's national soccer teams.
“This is just so we can get this very important document before we have Soccer Canada come to speak with us,” said Housefather.“We have the same powers as a court,” Housefather said in an interview. Canada Soccer said it is scheduled to go before the committee on March 20. Members of the women's team will likely go before the committee on a different date.
The Canadian men boycotted a planned friendly against Panama last June in Vancouver because of the labour impasse. Nick Bontis resigned as Canada Soccer president on Monday, acknowledging “this moment requires change.” He quit in the wake of a letter from provincial and territorial soccer leaders asking him to step down given the bitter labour dispute.CSB essentially markets Canada's soccer product, on the field and off, via broadcast and sponsorship agreements. It pays the governing body a set amount each year with the rest helping fund the Canadian Premier League.
Soccer sucks... 🤷🏼♂️ Cancel all funds
