Let’s hold ourselves accountable and not fall into the trap of defensiveness, excuse-making and risk management. – at Surrey, British Columbia

Today we should all be reflecting on what we could have done to prevent this from happening in the first place. – at Surrey, British Columbia

I care very deeply about sport. I believe very strongly in the power of sport to do good. There are good people doing good things in sport every day in every corner of this country. – at Surrey, British Columbia

Sport is unsafe. As a result of underfunding, insufficient legal/regulatory authority, system fragmentation, and cultural permissiveness. – at Surrey, British Columbia

The culture of sport is permissive and enabling. Canadians need to decide that the sport they want is not the sport we have – as parents, consumers, participants, we can make choices that will change the sport landscape. – at Surrey, British Columbia

The sport system is fragmented and inefficient. Efforts to address gaps have been reactive and piecemeal. There are too many organizations and no coordinating agency to provide leadership and strategic direction. We need a national sport agency. – at Surrey, British Columbia

Sport is dangerously unregulated. We need law to regulate sport - whether it’s funded or not by the government. Canada does not have the legal framework or regulatory authority to do what needs to be done. – at Surrey, British Columbia

Sport is woefully underfunded. Investments in sport are investments in the health and safety of our kids. Sport is part of our national identity, and our investments need to reflect this. – at Surrey, British Columbia

The Commission laid bare a truth that will be hard for some to hear, but those are the people who need to hear it the most. – at Surrey, British Columbia

We need to make some big decisions to ensure they get the sport they deserve. We can do this. – at Surrey, British Columbia

Bottom line: the sport system needs an overhaul. People have been harmed – children have been harmed. We owe it to everyone who was hurt, maltreated, discriminated against, bullied, denied access, and excluded to see this as an opportunity to do better for all Canadian children. – at Surrey, British Columbia

My first thought – there needs to be a formal apology by the Prime Minister to victims and survivors of abuse in sport. In fact, we should all apologize. There can be no doubt that we failed. – at Surrey, British Columbia

Today is an important day in Canadian sport history. The Future of Sport in Canada’s preliminary recommendations are thoughtful and bold. – at Surrey, British Columbia

Delta needs a passionate, and dedicated leader in Ottawa and having seen Jill's firsthand impact in our community, I know she's the best choice to represent us as our Member of Parliament. – at Delta, British Columbia

Had a fantastic time at the Delta Thistle Curling Club on Saturday, connecting with the incredible athletes, dedicated coaches, refs, and organizers at the BC Wheelchair Curling Championships. Amazing curling and even better community spirit! – at Delta, British Columbia

Congratulation to BCs 31st lieutenant governor, the Honorable Wendy Cocchia. You are an extraordinary person and we are lucky to have you in this role. – at Victoria, British Columbia

🚨 Exciting news for Delta! 🚨 Last week, Delta received $14.2M through the Housing Accelerator Fund to fast-track new homes and make it easier and faster to build housing. This investment will help ensure families and future generations have access to safe, affordable places to live. #DeltaBC – at Delta, British Columbia

Thank you, Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau for your service to Canada. You have led the country through extraordinary times. History will show that your leadership had a profound positive impact on the lives of Canadians. In 2015, you offered me the opportunity of a lifetime to make a real difference for Canadians with disabilities. I am proud of what we achieved through the Accessible Canada Act and the Canada Disability Benefit. I am confident this progress will continue. Thank you, Justin, for your leadership and friendship. I wish all the best for you and your family in the future. – at Delta, British Columbia
