Canadian ​Prime Minister ​Mark Carney said ‌on Wednesday ​that he did not have confidence ‌in FIFA President Gianni Infantino over the handling of his proposal to sell ‌off commercial rights to the soccer ‌World Cup. "The idea that proper governance is not to disclose to your closest advisers, ⁠your ​chief ⁠operating officer, your fellow board members something ⁠of consequence ... that's fatal, should be fatal, ​and you lose confidence in that ⁠individual," Carney told reporters in Toronto.

"Certainly I ⁠don't ​have confidence in Mr. Infantino after this point, given what ⁠transpired, and given the nature of what ⁠transpired," ⁠he added.
