The "club are committed to developing lasting relationships with Indigenous communities, and as the consultation process with Indigenous communities is still ongoing, CF Montréal have decided to pause distribution of the 2023 primary jersey to strengthen its approach by listening, collaborating, and co-creating concrete initiatives with Indigenous communities.
The decision has received mixed reactions from fans, with some expressing disappointment while others are understanding of the club's commitment to Indigenous communities.
