A lawyer from the firm conducting a third-party investigation into allegations of sexual assault against players from Canada’s 2018 world junior hockey team is warning a parliamentary committee that she may be unable to answer all of their questions.
Danielle Robitaille, a partner at Henein Hutchison LLP, says Hockey Canada told her that some information is under solicitor-client privilege and that some of the questions from the House of Commons heritage committee could undermine the integrity of the ongoing investigation.
