WANT THIS CONFLICT TO EXPAND,

AND HOW THE U.S. RESPONDS IN

THIS MOMENT, IT COULD SHAPE

WHETHER IT DOES BROADEN.

CANADA HAS TROOPS IN THE REGION

FOR THE UNITED NATIONS RELIEF

WORKS AGENCY, OR UNRWA, THAT

WERE TRIGGERED BY ALLEGATIONS

INVOLVED IN THE

OCTOBER 7TH ATTACK ON ISRAEL BY

HAMAS.

BUT AS CHRIS BROWN EXPLAINS,

UNLESS DONORS CHANGE COURSE, THE

U.N. SAYS THAT IT'S ON THE VERGE

OF STOPPING HUMANITARIAN

OPERATIONS IN GAZA COMPLETELY.

>> Reporter: GAZA AND ITS PEOPLE

ARE BEING DECIMATED BY ISRAEL'S

MILITARY.

AND NOW FUNDING FOR THE MAIN

HUMANITARIAN AGENCY THAT'S BEEN

PROVIDING FOOD AND SHELTER IS

UNDER ATTACK TOO.

ISRAEL CLAIMS 12 STAFF MEMBERS

OF UNRWA, THE U.N. RELIEF AND

WORKS AGENCY, TOOK PART IN THE

MASSACRES OF OCTOBER THE 7TH.

THE EVIDENCE THAT ISRAEL SHARED

WITH WESTERN COUNTRIES, BUT NOT

PUBLICLY, WAS ENOUGH TO CONVINCE

KEY DONORS, INCLUDING CANADA, TO

SUSPEND TENS OF MILLIONS OF

DOLLARS IN FUNDING.

IN A STATEMENT, THE HEAD OF THE

U.N. URGED COUNTRIES TO

RECONSIDER.

"I WAS MYSELF HORRIFIED BY THESE

ACCUSATIONS," SAID ANTÓNIO

GUTERRES, "I STRONGLY APPEAL TO

THE GOVERNMENTS WHO HAVE

SUSPENDED THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO

AT LEAST GUARANTEE THE

CONTINUITY OF UNRWA'S

OPERATIONS."

SHOCKED BY WHAT THEY FEEL IS A

CALLOUS MOVE.

TOLD US.

"THEY'RE PUNISHING EVERYONE FOR

JUST A FEW," HE SAID.

IN THE OCCUPIED WEST BANK WHERE

UNWRA ALSO OPERATES, MANY

FELT THE FUNDING OF THE

OPERATING CUTS

ON THE SAME DAY AS THE TOP COURT

REFUSED TO DROP THE GENOCIDE

CASE AGAINST ISRAEL WAS NOT A

COINCIDENCE.

>>(SPEAKING ALTERNATE LANGUAGE).

>> Reporter:FREEZING THE AID TO

THE AGENCY COMES TO

DISRUPT THE DECISION OF THE

INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE,"

SAID THE PALESTINIAN PRIME

MINISTER.

UNRWA WAS FORMED MORE THAN 70

YEARS AGO TO SUPPORT

PALESTINIANS AND NOW THEIR

DESCENDANTS WHO WERE DISPLACED

WHEN THE STATE OF ISRAEL WAS

CREATED.

BUT MANY ISRAELIS LOATHE UNRWA,

CLAIMING THE EDUCATION SYSTEM

THAT IT FUNDS HAS TAUGHT

GENERATIONS OF PALESTINIANS TO

HATE ISRAEL.

>> IT'S ALSO VERY GOOD AT

ALWAYS PRETENDS.

IT IS NOT ABOVE.

>> Reporter: CHRIS GUNNESS WAS

SUSPENDED FUNDING NEED TO

UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS

DISPROPORTIONATE AND IT IS

COUNTERPRODUCTIVE.

WANTED TO STRESS THAT IT'S

ALREADY TAKING ACTION AGAINST AT

LEAST SOME OF THE WORKERS?

>> Reporter: WELL, THE SECRETARY

GENERAL, IAN, SAYS THAT NINE OF

THE 12 HAVE ALREADY BEEN FIRED.

ONE IS DEAD, AND THE IDENTITY OF

TWO OTHERS IS BEING CLARIFIED.

SOME WESTERN NATIONS ARE

CONTINUING TO SUPPORT THE AGENCY

IN THE MEANTIME, INCLUDING

IRELAND AND NORWAY, WHO SAYS

THAT IT IS IMPORTANT TO DRAW THE

DISTINCTION BETWEEN INDIVIDUALS

AND THE MISSION OF THE AGENCY

ITSELF.

IAN?

>> Ian: CHRIS BROWN IN

JERUSALEM, THANK YOU.

>>> CANADA'S AMBASSADOR TO THE

U.N. TOLD CBC NEWS THAT OTTAWA

GAZA.

>> WE ARE AS WE SPEAK TALKING

WITH ALL OF THOSE OTHER

COUNTRIES THAT HAVE TAKEN A

POSITION AS WE HAVE TO SUSPEND

THE ASSISTANCE TO UNRWA, BUT NOT

WE WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR THAT

WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO

SITUATION IN GAZA, PRECISELY

BECAUSE IT'S SO SERIOUS.

FOOTBALL OUT OF THIS.

IT HAS TO DO WITH SAVING LIVES.

I DON'T KNOW THAT PEOPLE FULLY

UNDERSTAND ALL THAT HAS GONE

INTO GETTING THIS LEAGUE OFF OF

ON THE ICE.

AND NOW HERE YOU ARE A

PROFESSIONAL HOCKEY PLAYER,

SARAH NURSE.

HOW DOES THAT FEEL?

>> IT'S CRAZY TO OFFICIALLY HAVE

THAT TITLE AND TO BE ABLE TO BE

A PART OF THE INAUGURAL SEASON

PWHL.

IT IS KIND OF A ROLLERCOASTER

AND TO BE ABLE TO SIT BACK AND

SAY, OH, MY GOSH, I'M A

PROFESSIONAL HOCKEY PLAYER.

IT'S AN HONOUR.

[Cheers and Applause]

>> LOOK AT THE FACES, LOOK AT

THE SUPPORT.

LOOK AT ALL OF IT THAT YOU HAVE

FOUGHT AND BATTLED FOR ON THE

YOUNG ONES OUT THERE.

OPPORTUNITIES.

IT IS AN UNBELIEVABLE MOMENT.

I'VE GOT CHILLS.

[Cheers and Applause]

[♪ MUSIC PLAYING ♪]

>> Ian: YOU MUST HAVE THOUGHT

ABOUT THIS, THE IMPACT THAT EVEN

THESE FIRST FEW WEEKS IS HAVING

ON 6, 7, 8-YEAR-OLD GIRLS WHO

ARE EITHER PLAYING HOCKEY OR

WANT TO PLAY HOCKEY.

>> YEAH.

THE AMOUNT OF TIMES

THAT I'VE GOTTEN MESSAGES OR

GOTTEN TAGGED ON SOCIAL MEDIA OF

THE GRAVITY OF WHAT WE'VE

ACCOMPLISHED IN THE LAST YEAR,

IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS HAS BEEN

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.

LIKE LITTLE GIRLS BEING LIKE I

CAN'T BELIEVE THAT, LIKE, I HAVE

A LEAGUE TO PLAY IN ONE DAY.

WOMEN WHO ARE IN THEIR 40s OR

50s OR 60s SAYING I CAN'T

BELIEVE THAT YOU GUYS DID THIS.

I ALWAYS WANTED TO PLAY HOCKEY

AND BUT THERE WERE NO

OPPORTUNITIES FOR ME.

AND IT'S BEEN OLDER GIRLS AND

YOUNG WOMEN, AND EVEN BOYS WHO

ARE UNDERSTANDING.

I GET STOPPED AT OUR PRACTISE

FACILITY ALL THE TIME BY BOYS

WHO WANT TO TALK TO ME ABOUT

HOCKEY, AND TALK ABOUT HOW COOL

IT

IS THAT WE HAVE A PROFESSIONAL

LEAGUE.

>> Ian: YEAH, SPEAKING OF FULL

CIRCLE LET'S GO BACK TO THE 6,

7, 8-YEAR-OLD SARAH NURSE IN

HAMILTON.

NOT THAT FAR AWAY GEOGRAPHICALLY

BUT IT SEEMS SO FAR AWAY IN

TERMS OF YOUR HOCKEY JOURNEY.

HOW DID YOU CHOOSE HOCKEY?

HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED?

>> I STARTED SKATING WHEN I WAS

ABOUT 3 YEARS OLD, AND MY DAD,

HE ALWAYS WANTED TO PLAY HOCKEY

BUT HE WAS NEVER ABLE TO.

HE WAS A HUGE HOCKEY FAN.

A HUGE TORONTO LEAFS' FAN.

SO AS SOON AS HE COULD GET ME ON

THE ICE, HE PUT ME ON SKATES.

I HAD THOSE LITTLE DOUBLE

BLADES AND WE WENT OUT AND

SKATED AT A LOCAL POND TOGETHER.

I WAS VERY NATURAL AT IT.

I TOOK TO IT VERY EASILY AND I

LOVED IT.

SO THE NATURAL PROGRESS FROM

THERE WAS FIGURE SKATING OR

HOCKEY AND MY DAD TOOK THAT AS

AN OPPORTUNITY TO PUT ME IN

HOCKEY.

THAT'S WHERE I FELL IN LOVE WITH

THE GAME.

I LOVED PLAYING THE GAME SO MUCH

AND I DEFINITELY PLAYED OTHER

SPORTS GROWING UP, BUT I QUICKLY

LEARNED THROUGH MY EARLY TEENS

THAT MY SKILL SET AND WHAT I WAS

BEST AT WAS HOCKEY.

>> Ian:YEAH, AND IT IS PRETTY

CLEAR AS WE VISITED YOUR -- YOUR

PARENTS' PLACE IN HAMILTON THAT

HE AND YOUR MOM ARE INCREDIBLY

PROUD OF YOU.

THEY'VE BUILT BASICALLY A LITTLE

MUSEUM, A LITTLE SARAH NURSE

MUSEUM, IN HAMILTON.

>> SO THIS IS THE SHRINE FOR OUR

KIDS WHERE WE KEEP ALL OF THEIR

MEMORABILIA AND ALL OF THE STUFF

THAT THEY DID.

THIS IS SARAH'S SHELF.

WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, HER FIRST 50

GOAL PUCK.

THERE'S HER FIRST INTERNATIONAL

GOAL, PLAYING A TEAM AGAINST

GERMANY.

AND NOW THIS BARBIE DOLL HERE IS

HER BARBIE DOLL THAT IS MADE TO

LOOK LIKE HER IN HER IMAGE.

AND THIS IS THE STICK -- THE

STICK FROM THE FIRST OLYMPIC

GOAL.

[Cheers and Applause]

>> A WICKED TOP SHELF GOAL, THE

GOAL, THE FIRST OF HER OLYMPIC

CAREER FOR

SARAH NURSE OF CANADA.

[♪ MUSIC PLAYING ♪]

>> Ian: FOUR YEARS LATER YOU

MADE THE CANADIAN OLYMPIC TEAM,

WON A GOLD MEDAL.

AND DIDN'T JUST WIN A GOLD

MEDAL, BUT YOU SET THE RECORD

FOR THE WOMEN'S OLYMPIC HOCKEY

TOURNAMENT, MOST ASSISTS, MOST

POINTS.

SO ONE LINE SHOULD BE SARAH

NURSE, A MEMBER OF WHAT CAN BE

ONE OF THE GREATEST WOMEN'S

OLYMPIC TEAMS FROM THAT YEAR.

>> YEAH.

>> Ian: ANOTHER LINE THAT HAS

COME OUT OF THAT IS, SARAH

NURSE, THE

FIRST BLACK WOMEN'S HOCKEY

PLAYER TO WIN A GOLD MEDAL AT

THE OLYMPICS.

SO, FIRST OF ALL IN TERMS OF

TERMINOLOGY, I HAVE SEEN YOU

HEARD BOTH THE WORD BLACK AND

BIRACIAL TO DESCRIBE YOURSELF.

WHICH DO YOU PREFER?

>> I USUALLY REFER TO MYSELF AS

A BLACK BIRACIAL WOMAN.

SO A LITTLE BIT OF A COMBINATION

OF THE TWO.

I THINK THAT IT IS IMPORTANT TO

ME.

-- THERE ARE SO MANY LEVELS

OF,

YOU KNOW, BLACKNESS AND FOR ME

UNDERSTANDING THAT I HAVE AN

INHERENT PRIVILEGE OF BEING A

LIGHTER-SKINNED WOMAN.

SO I THINK THAT IT IS VERY

IMPORTANT FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND

AND TO EXEMPLIFY THAT, THAT I

MAY NOT NECESSARILY GO THROUGH

SOME OF THE THINGS THAT MY

DARKER SISTERS WOULD.

>> Ian: UM-HMM.

HAS RACE BEEN AN OBSTACLE FOR

YOU IN YOUR CAREER?

>> UM-HMM.

I THINK THAT FOR MYSELF, UM,

GROWING UP WE WERE ALWAYS THE

ONLY BLACK FAMILY IN THE ARENA.

AND SO, LIKE, I WOULD ALWAYS

JOKE AROUND THAT I ALWAYS KNEW

WHERE MY DAD WAS, AND I WOULD

HAVE TO LOOK OUT AND

HE WAS THE ONLY BLACK NUMBER IN

A LOT OF WHITE FACES.

DEFINITELY THAT WAS POLARIZING

AS A CHILD.

AND I REMEMBER IN WOMEN'S

HOCKEY, SOMEONE ASKED ME IF

THERE WAS RACISM IN WOMEN'S

HOCKEY AND I WAS LIKE, I AM NOT

REALLY SURE.

AND I LOOKED AROUND AND THERE

ARE NO BLACK PEOPLE AND ARE

THERE ARE NO ASIAN PEOPLE AND NO

INDIGENOUS PEOPLE.

THE FIRST TIME THAT I EVER

PLAYED WITH SOMEBODY WHO WASN'T

WHITE WAS ON THE 2018 OLYMPIC

TEAM AND THAT WAS MORE WITH MY

TEAMMATE BRIDGET.

SO IT WAS CRAZY BECAUSE THERE'S

NO DIVERSITY IN THE SPORT AT

ALL.

AND SO TO BE ABLE TO SEE PLAYERS

LIKE, YOU KNOW, SOPHIE JAKES AND

TANKER AND LAYLA EDWARDS COMING

UP AND BEING, YOU KNOW, A BLACK

WOMAN AND PLAYING ON RESPECTED

NATIONAL TEAMS IN PROFESSIONAL

HOCKEY, UM, IT'S GOING TO HELP

TO CHANGE THE GAME.

IT'S GOING TO HELP TO MAKE THE

GAME MORE INVITING AND OPEN AND

WELCOMING TO EVERYBODY.

>> Ian:YOU MAY NOT HAVE

SEEN A LOT OF OTHER FACES THAT

LOOKED LIKE YOURS WHEN YOU WERE

YOUNG PLAYING HOCKEY, BUT YOU

CERTAINLY SAW A LOT OF ELITE

ATHLETES JUST IN YOUR FAMILY,

RIGHT?

I MEAN, YOUR AUNT WHO WAS A

BASKETBALL STAR AT SYRACUSE, AND

YOUR COUSINS, KIA, A BASKETBALL

STAR, PROFESSIONAL PLAYER.

DARNELL, A PROFESSIONAL HOCKEY

PLAYER.

SO IT SOUNDS LIKE A FANTASTIC

ENVIRONMENT TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS.

WHAT ABOUT BEING A GIRL GROWING

UP IN HAMILTON PLAYING HOCKEY,

DID YOU FEEL THAT THERE WERE ANY

OBSTACLES THERE?

>> I THINK FROM A VERY YOUNG

AGE -- BECAUSE DARNELL AND I ARE

THE EXACT SAME AGE, WE PLAYED

THE SAME SPORT AND OUR PATHS

ALWAYS RAN PARALLEL TO ONE

ANOTHER.

AND I ALWAYS NOTICED HOW HIM AND

HIS CAREER WAS SPOKEN ABOUT,

VERSUS MINE.

SO WE WERE BOTH ELITE.

WE WERE BOTH AT THE TOP OF OUR

AGE GROUPS, OUR TEAMS, OUR

PROVINCE, OUR COUNTRY.

AND I REMEMBER WHENEVER HE WAS

SPOKEN ABOUT, IT WAS, LIKE,

WELL, HE'S GOING TO MAKE A

LIVING PLAYING THIS.

THIS IS GOING TO BE HIS

FULL-TIME CAREER AND HE CAN 100%

FOCUS HIS TIME ON THIS.

WHEREAS ME, IT WASN'T SPOKEN

ABOUT LIKE THAT.

IT WAS SPOKEN ABOUT, OH, YOU

NEED TO GET AN EDUCATION BECAUSE

WHEN YOU'RE DONE DOING THE

LITTLE THING THAT YOU'RE DOING

YOU'RE GOING TO NEED SOMETHING

ELSE TO DO.

SO MY CAREER AND ME PLAYING MY

SPORT WASN'T TAKEN AS SERIOUSLY

AS HIS WAS.

BUT THAT IS BECAUSE

THERE WAS NO PROFESSIONAL HOCKEY

FOR WOMEN.

AND THE LACK OF OPPORTUNITIES

WAS GLARING TO THE PEOPLE WHO I

LOOKED UP TO, THE PEOPLE AROUND

ME.

AND THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE

THAT I HAD MY THINGS IN ORDER SO

THAT I COULD BE AS SUCCESSFUL AS

POSSIBLE OUTSIDE OF HOCKEY.

>> Ian: NOW THERE WAS

PROFESSIONAL WOMEN'S HOCKEY

BEFORE THE CURRENT LEAGUE.

BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WASN'T

THAT PROFESSIONAL.

CAN I ASK, WHAT WERE THE

SALARIES LIKE IN THOSE LEAGUES

THAT CAME BEFORE THE CURRENT

LEAGUE?

>> UM, WHEN I FIRST STARTED

PLAYING IN THE PWHL IN

2018-2019, I WAS PAID $2,000, I

BELIEVE THAT MY CONTRACT WAS,

AND --

>> Ian: $2,000 A GAME.

>> $2,000 A YEAR.

YEAH, $2,000 A YEAR WITH A

POSSIBLE BONUS AT THE END.

>> Ian: WOW.

>> AND MAYBE A COUPLE THOUSAND

MORE.

>> Ian: SO THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN LIKE AN HONOURARIUM AND

WHAT NOW I HOPE IS A SALARY THAT

PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY LIVE ON.

>> FOR SURE, FOR SURE.

>> Ian:ONE OF THE DISTINCTIONS

ABOUT THIS NEW WOMEN'S LEAGUE IS

THAT IT MAY BE THE FIRST LEAGUE

EVER WHERE THERE WAS A

COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT

IN PLACE BEFORE THE FIRST

FACE-OFF.

THE SEASON IS SOLD OUT, YOU'RE

ON NETWORK TELEVISION, THE

HIGHLIGHTS ARE ON SPORTSNET AND

TSN.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT WHERE

THINGS ARE AT RIGHT NOW?

>> I'M VERY PROUD TO SEE THE

AMOUNT OF MEDIA THAT IS COVERING

OUR LEAGUE BECAUSE WE'VE NEVER

SEEN THAT BEFORE.

THE NUMBERS FROM MY FIRST GAME I

SAW 2.9 MILLION

ACROSS CANADIAN BROADCAST

NETWORKS AND THAT'S LIKE OLYMPIC

NUMBERS, LIKE GOLD MEDAL GAME

NUMBERS.

SO THE FACT THAT THERE IS THAT

MUCH INTEREST, AND THE FACT THAT

PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT IT -- BECAUSE

WE'VE PLAYED ON TV BEFORE, BUT

THERE WAS NO AWARENESS.

FOR ME TO BE WATCHING "HOCKEY

NIGHT IN CANADA" THE OTHER DAY

WITH MY FAMILY AND MY FACE POPS

UP AND LIKE TORONTO IS PLAYING

MONTRÉAL THIS WEEK AND I AM

LIKE, OH, I FORGOT, SO AMAZING.

BUT IT'S SO COOL TO BE ABLE TO

SEE THAT BECAUSE WE'RE IN THE

FOREFRONT, WE ARE FRONT AND

CENTRE.

AND PEOPLE HAVE ACCESS TO US

LIKE THEY NEVER

HAVE BEFORE.

>> Ian: SOME OF THE ATHLETES ARE

FRONT AND CENTRE AND YOU'RE

DEFINITELY ONE OF THEM.

AND ONE OF THE INTERESTING

THINGS ABOUT THE

KIND OF THE PUBLIC PERSONA THAT

YOU HAVE IS THAT ON THE ONE HAND

YOU PLAYED A SPORT THAT IS ROUGH

AND TUMBLE AND AGGRESSIVE AND

THERE'S BODY CHECKING IN THIS

LEAGUE.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, YOU ARE

NOT AFRAID TO EMBRACE THIS -- I

MEAN, CAN I SAY IT, SORT OF

FEMININE IMAGE ON INSTAGRAM, FOR

EXAMPLE.

HOW DO YOU BALANCE THAT?

WHAT KIND OF IMAGE ARE YOU

HOPING TO PORTRAY?

>> YEAH, I HAVE ALWAYS STRUGGLED

WITH THIS BECAUSE AS A CHILD,

AGAIN, I PLAYED SO MANY

DIFFERENT SPORTS.

BUT I LOVE TO DRESS AND I LOVED

PLAYING WITH DOLLS.

SO THERE WAS ONE TIME I WALKED

INTO MY HOCKEY GAME AT 7 YEARS

OLD WITH A DRESS ON AND A HOCKEY

STICK THROWN OVER MY SHOULDER.

THAT'S JUST ME, THAT'S HOW I

HAVE ALWAYS BEEN.

AND SO I WANT TO BE THE PERSON

THAT, LIKE, 7-YEAR-OLD SARAH

COULD LOOK UP TO AND BE LIKE,

OH, MY GOSH, I COULD BE LIKE

HER.

BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE

ANYBODY TO LOOK UP TO IN THAT

LENS PLAYING SPORTS, PLAYING

HOCKEY.

I WAS ALWAYS TAUGHT THAT I HAD

TO BE, LIKE, BRUTAL AND VICIOUS.

AND I AM LIKE THAT IS JUST

SIMPLY NOT ME.

ON THE ICE I'M A COMPETITIVOR,

BUT OFF

THE ICE THESE ARE MY INTERESTS

AND I THINK THAT IS OKAY.

I THINK THAT FEMININITY IS A

SLIDING SCALE AND I THINK MY

VERSION OF FEMININITY IS GOING

TO BE DIFFERENT THAN THE NEXT

WOMAN OR THE NEXT VERSION OF

FEMININITY.

AND I JUST WANT TO ALLOW

EVERYBODY THE SPACE TO

UNDERSTAND THAT THEY CAN BE WHO

THEY WANT TO BE.

I LIKE HOCKEY.

IT'S NOT WHO I AM, IT IS

SOMETHING THAT I DO.

BUT I CAN ALSO LIKE SO MANY

OTHER THINGS AND THEY CAN BE

COMBINED.

PRETTY AWESOME.

>> Ian: THE AVERAGE MALE HOCKEY

PLAYER IS USUALLY ASKED PROBING

QUESTIONS ABOUT GETTING PUCKS IN

DEEP OR HOW THE POWER PLAY WENT.

DO YOU EVER GET TIRED OF HAVING

TO ANSWER THE KIND OF QUESTIONS

THAT I

HAVE ASKED YOU TODAY ABOUT ALL

OF THESE BIGGER ISSUES?

>> DEFINITELY.

[LAUGHTER]

100% I DO.

BUT I THINK THAT IT'S BEEN SO

IMPORTANT, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO

SHARE OUR STORY AND WE HAVE TO

CONTINUE THE MOVEMENT.

AND IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE NEXT

GENERATION OF FEMALE ATHLETES.

AND SO TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK ABOUT

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT.

AND NOW BEING A PROFESSIONAL

HOCKEY PLAYER, I'M SEEING THE

OTHER SIDE OF THE GLASS.

AND I AM ANSWERING QUESTIONS

ABOUT GETTING PUCKS IN DEEP AND

WHAT'S GOING ON WITH OUR POWER

PLAY AND WHY WE'RE NOT BEING

SUCCESSFUL.

LIKE THE TORONTO MEDIA?

THEY ARE KIND OF ROUGH.

SO IT'S GREAT.

I THINK THAT IT IS GREAT.

AND NOW I GET TO ANSWER

QUESTIONS ABOUT BOTH AND I HOPE

THAT ONE DAY, YOU KNOW, YOUNG

GIRLS -- GIRLS IN MY POSITION

ARE JUST TALKING HOCKEY.

>> Ian: SO IT IS INTERESTING

WHEN YOU GO TO THE WEBSITE FOR

THE LEAGUE AND IT INVITES PEOPLE

TO JOIN THE MOVEMENT.

SO THE PLAYERS AND THE TEAMS

HAVE DONE THEIR PART TO START

THAT MOVEMENT AND NOW THE TEST

IS GOING TO BE ON FANS IN TERMS

OF GOING TO GAMES AND WATCHING

ON TV.

IT'S GOING TO BE A SYMBIOTIC

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FANS AND

PLAYERS TO GROW WOMEN'S HOCKEY.

>>> COMING UP, WHY CAPPING

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS COULD

COST CANADIANS MORE.

>>> AND LATER --

>> IT'S GOT A REAL WONDER TO IT.

>> Ian: A MASSIVE SHIPWRECK

APPEARS ON THE SHORES OF

NEWFOUNDLAND.

THE SPECULATION ON ITS ORIGINS

IN OUR "MOMENT."

(♪♪)

(♪♪)

>> Ian: MAJOR CONCERNS ON CAMPUS

OVER THE NEW FEDERAL CAP ON

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS.

>> THE DECREASE IN THAT IS A

DECREASE IN FUNDS.

>> REDUCING HIRING.

>> Ian: IT MEANS STRESS AND

UNCERTAINTY.

>> YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING

ME.

>> Ian: AND DOMESTIC STUDENTS

ALSO STAND TO LOSE.

DEANA SUMANAC-JOHNSON BREAKS

DOWN HOW COLLEGES AND

UNIVERSITIES WILL BE FORCED INTO

TOUGH CHOICES AS THE CASH THEY

HAVE COME TO COUNT ON SHARPLY

DECLINES.

>> THIS IS NOT EASY FOR THEM.

>> Reporter: SHE IS NO STRANGER

TO ASSISTING INTERNATIONAL

STUDENTS IN CRISIS, BUT HER

PHONE HAS BEEN RINGING OFF THE

HOOK THIS WEEK.

>> MANY OF OUR MEMBERS FROM

ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE SENT ME

EMAILS AND TEXTS SAYING THAT

THEY'RE DISTRESSED AND THEY'RE

SICK TO THEIR STOMACH.

>> Anwar:ONE PART OF THE

FEDERAL ANNOUNCEMENT OF

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS -- THEIR

SPOUSES

WON'T BE ABLE TO GET OPEN WORK

PERMITS ANYMORE.

>> ONE OF THE DECISIONS THAT

WERE MADE WERE TO SEPARATE THE

FAMILIES OF INTERNATIONAL

STUDENTS WHO ARE STUDYING AT THE

COLLEGE AT UNDERGRADUATE LEVELS,

AND FAMILIES WHO DESERVE TO BE

TOGETHER.

>> Reporter:THE NEW FEDERAL

ANNOUNCEMENT PUTS A CAP ON

THE NUMBER OF INTERNATIONAL

STUDENTS THAT CANADA CAN ACCEPT

OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS.

IT WAS PRESENTED AS A MEASURE TO

REGULATE THE BOOMING, SOMETIMES

EXPLOITIVE, PRACTISE OF

RECRUITING INTERNATIONAL

STUDENTS, MANY OF WHOM ARE USING

THEIR STUDIES AS A PATH TO

PERMANENT RESIDENCY.

HOWEVER, THOSE HIGH TUITIONS

ALSO FILL THE COFFERS OF

INSTITUTIONS, AND THERE ARE

FEARS

THAT IN THE SHORT TERM AT LEAST

THAT THE MEASURES COULD AFFECT

NOT ONLY INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

BUT PROFESSORS.

>> I STOPPED DEAD IN MY TRACKS,

AND I AM LIKE YOU HAVE TO BE

KIDDING ME.

>> Reporter:VICKY, STUDYING

HERE FROM GHANA, FEARS THAT

THERE WILL BE A TUITION INCREASE

FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS.

>> THE MONEY HAS TO COME FROM

SOMEWHERE ELSE, SO THEY TURN

AROUND AND THEY PUT THAT COST ON

STUDENTS.

>> Reporter: THAT QUESTION --

WHERE WILL THE MONEY COME FROM

WITH THE FEWER INTERNATIONAL

STUDENTS ENROLLED, TROUBLES

MANY.

CUTS TO THE PROGRAMME THAT

NORMALLY TAKE IN A LOT OF

FOREIGN STUDENTS ARE POSSIBLE.

>> SO WE MEAN MOVING AWAY FROM

FACULTY TO MORE CONTRACT

FACULTY.

AND REDUCING HIRING AND CUTTING

THE COSTS IN OTHER WAYS.

BUT IT WOULD ALSO POSSIBLY MEAN

THE REMOVAL OF SOME OF THESE

PROGRAMMES.

>> Reporter: AND THAT WOULD

IMPACT DOMESTIC STUDENTS TOO.

>> WE HAVE TO FACE THE FACT THAT

THE BILL IS BEING FOOTED BY

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS.

SO A DECREASE IN THAT IS A

DECREASE IN FUNDS AND IT IS A

DECREASE IN THE PROGRAMMES THAT

DOMESTIC STUDENTS ARE ALSO IN.

>> Reporter: NOW WE KNOW FROM

THE FEDERAL ANNOUNCEMENT THE

PROVINCES THAT TAKE IN THE BULK

OF INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS,

SPECIFICALLY ONTARIO, ARE

LOOKING AT A CLOSE TO 50% CUT,

WHEREAS OTHER PROVINCES MAY BE

LOOKING AT A SMALLER CUT.

WHAT IS LESS CLEAR IS WHETHER

THE SO-CALLED DIPLOMA MILLS WILL

BE DOCKED MORE STEEPLY THAN THE

MORE REPUTABLE INSTITUTIONS.

EVEN A MORE MODERATE CUT COULD

HAVE FAR-REACHING EFFECTS, SAYS

THIS PRESIDENT OF A SMALL PUBLIC

COLLEGE IN P.E.I.

>> IF WE WERE ABLE TO DO THIS,

WE HAVE 30% OF OUR INTERNATIONAL

STUDENTS AND WE'LL DROP TO 20%

AND WE WOULD SEE AN IMMEDIATE

IMPACT ON OUR BOTTOM LINE.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE MIGHT

SEE AN IMPACT ON THE DEPTH AND

BREADTH OF THE PROGRAMMES THAT

WE CAN PROVIDE.

>> Ian:DEANA, SOME OF THE

PEOPLE THAT YOU SPOKE TO ALSO

RAISED CONCERNS

THAT THE IMPACT HERE COULD BE

MORE THAN JUST FINANCIAL?

>> Reporter: THAT'S RIGHT, IAN.

SOME OF THE ADVOCATES AND THE

EXPERTS THAT WE SPOKE TO ARE

PARTICULARLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE

LANGUAGE AROUND INTERNATIONAL

STUDENTS ARE TAKING AWAY HOUSING

FROM CANADIANS.

THEY WORRY THAT LANGUAGE COULD

LEAD TO EXCLUSION AND XENOPHOBIA

AND THEY REMIND US THAT DOMESTIC

AND INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

AREN'T SEGREGATED, THEY WORK ON

CLASS PROJECTS TOGETHER, THEY

MAY BE FRIENDS AND THEY MAY BE

DATING, THEY MAY BE ROOMMATES.

FOR EXAMPLE, THAT YOUNG WOMAN

FROM GHANA STUDYING IN

NEWFOUNDLAND IN THE PIECE, SHE

IS SO INTEGRATED INTO HER CAMPUS

LIFE THAT SHE'S THE V.P. OF HER

CAMPUS' STUDENT UNION.

>> Ian: DEANA SUMANAC-JOHNSON IN

OUR TORONTO STUDIO.

>> Reporter: THANKS, IAN.

>> Ian: NEXT, A MYSTERIOUS

DISCOVERY IN NEWFOUNDLAND.

>> LIKE, WHAT HAPPENED TO IT,

AND THE PEOPLE THAT WAS ON THE

SHIP ON THAT DAY.

>> Ian: THE SHIPWRECK'S SUDDEN

EMERGENCE IN OUR "MOMENT."

(♪♪)

>> Ian: YOU'RE LOOKING AT A

SHIPWRECK JUST OFF OF CAPE RAY,

NEWFOUNDLAND.

ITS PROXIMITY TO SHORE IS

CATCHING THE ATTENTION OF

LOCALS, ADDING TO THE INTRIGUE

THAT WASN'T THERE A FEW DAYS

AGO.

THE VESSEL IS ABOUT 24-METRES

LONG AND ITS AGE AND CONTENTS

STILL UNKNOWN.

TONIGHT ITS MYSTERIOUS

APPEARANCE IS OUR "MOMENT."

>> THIS IS A VERY SIGNIFICANT

SIZED VESSEL SITTING NEXT TO

THAT ONCE SANDY BEACH.

SO EARLIER THIS WEEK A YOUNG MAN

NAMED GORDON BLACKMORE WAS

ACTUALLY HUNTING AND I GUESS

THAT HE WAS THE FIRST TO SEE IT.

I THINK THAT THERE'S A MYSTIQUE

WHEN IT COMES TO SHIPWRECK.

AND FROM THERE IT SORT OF

EXPLODED IN TERMS OF THE TEAMGZ

BEING PAID TO IT.

>> I FOUND IT ON FACEBOOK.

AND I WAS THINKING ABOUT WHAT

HAPPENED TO IT, AND, LIKE, THE

PEOPLE THAT WAS ON THE SHIP AND

WERE ON THAT DAY.

SO IT WAS PRETTY NEAT.

>> RIGHT NOW I AM NOT

SPECULATING, BUT I HAVE HEARD

DIFFERENT PEOPLE WHO ARE DOING

RESEARCH, WHETHER WE'RE TALKING

17TH CENTURY, 18TH, 19TH -- IS

IT A BRITISH WARSHIP?

WHAT TYPE OF SCHOONER THIS MIGHT

BE.

IT'S GOT A REAL WONDER TO IT AND

I THINK THAT EVERYBODY FEELS THE

SAME WAY, WHAT COMES NEXT, AND

LOOKING BACK IN HISTORY IT'S

JUST MESMERIZING.

>> Ian: IT TRULY IS.

AND NOT TO LOSE SIGHT OF THE

FACT THAT IT LIKELY WAS A

MARITIME TRAGEDY, THAT THERE

WERE LIVES INVOLVED, BUT -- BUT,

STILL TO IMAGINE THAT IT'S

PROBABLY MORE THAN 200 YEARS OLD

AND THERE ARE CERTAIN CLUES,

LIKE THE

WOODEN TROUGHS THAT APPEAR TO BE

USED AS NAILS TO HOLD IT

TOGETHER.

AND THE FACT THAT PROBABLY

HURRICANE FIONA DISLODGED IT

FROM WHERE IT WAS.

SO, YEAH, AN INTRIGUING MYSTERY.
