Why did the Government of Canada decide that the CCES should administer Canada’s safe sport program?

In December 2023, the Government of Canada announced that OSIC and the Abuse-Free Sport Program would be moved out of the Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada (SDRCC) to preserve both the independence of the safe sport program and of the SDRCC in its statutory role as an alternative dispute resolution service provider, to best support athletes and those seeking its services, and to further strengthen the integrity of the Canadian sport system.
