Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First, I want to thank my Liberal and Conservative colleagues for allowing me to introduce this motion. I will be very quick. I know that our witnesses' time is important. However, the topic is appropriate. We are talking about sports.
I would simply like unanimous consent on the following motion:
That the committee congratulate Canadian mixed martial arts athlete, Georges St-Pierre, for defending his UFC (Ultimate Fighting Champion) welterweight world champion title by winning his fight November 15, 2012 in Montreal.
Members of Parliament from all parties were at the Bell Centre on Saturday night. We are very proud of the victory of this great Canadian athlete, who is a good ambassador for us in the sports world. It is with great pleasure that I worked with my colleagues to seek the committee's support with respect to this motion. I hope the committee will support me in this regard.
