Good to see a principled Canadian:

Less than a month after the review's results were made public, Brassard expressed concern about how the situation had been handled in an interview with Radio-Canada.

"During the last four years, red lights were lit on a number of occasions, and intentionally or not, they were ignored," Brassard said in the interview. "I want to know why. We're not talking about budgetary mistakes or financial issues, we're talking about human feelings."

Brassard said at the time he had written a letter to the COC's board of directors outlining his concerns.

"If I have the impression I can't do anything for the employees who are still hurt by this, I would consider that a failure, and I might have to distance myself," he said.


The usual Canadian response when authority is involved "nothing to see here, move along". Theo Fleury's book outlined an eerily similar denial to the abuses he experienced as a kid.
