Canadian Heritage committee  What's clear is there is a big lack of money over there.

Canadian Heritage committee  I did great? Okay, thank you.

Canadian Heritage committee  I want to come back to what Mr. Simms was mentioning.

The reputation of the country was on the line, not only the reputation of the athletes, but the reputation of the whole country.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair and honourable members of the committee. We are pleased to be back here one year later.
