Hockey Canada CEO Scott Smith said Wednesday during testimony in front of Parliament that he won't resign from his position, according to CBC's Richard Raycraft.

Many voices, including advocate and survivor Sheldon Kennedy, have called for Smith, as well as Hockey Canada's board, to step down in the wake of two ongoing sexual assault scandals. Numerous MPs on Wednesday also pressed Smith to quit.

"For the good of hockey, for the good of the countless volunteers across this country, the good work countless blameless people are doing in the sport of hockey, I strongly believe there needs to be new leadership within Hockey Canada," Conservative MP John Nater said.

Hockey Canada needs to start over. But how? And who should lead the way?

"Will you do that? Will you step down for new leadership to take over?"

Smith responded by saying he believes he can help inspire appropriate change from his position.
