The Canadian Football Federation and our national teams have a real chance to sign a historic collective bargaining agreement.

Once signed, this will be a historic agreement that will set our country apart from almost any other FIFA association. Although I have been one of the most vocal advocates for leveling the competitive landscape of our women’s team, I will unfortunately not be leading the organization when that happens. I understand that this moment needs to be changed.
