The situation was discussed multiple times on CFC board and board members didn't support the idea (to say the least)" (Victor Plotkin).
This statement is incorrect. There was only two previous attempts done in the past, a very long time ago. And the CFC will have the absolute first choice to compose the best Canadian team possible. Canada 2 (Quebec) will be composed with substitute players. Mr. Plotkin, if you want to have the correct information in the future, i suggest you call the FQE office at : 514-252-3034.
