Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is calling out Hockey Canada for a second time over its handling of sexual assault allegations involving players from two world junior teams.

Trudeau says Hockey Canada's leadership has lost the confidence of not only the federal government, but of Canadians too.

He says the longer it takes the governing body to realize that, the more difficulties it will face.

Trudeau spoke to reporters today after Hockey Canada's board of directors released a statement earlier this week saying it supported president Scott Smith and his executive team despite calls for a change of the organization's leadership.
