Good morning.
For me, the Olympic Games are a major event that brings together athletes who excel in their sports and who are role models for young Canadians. This is even more true at a time when we are facing problems with street gangs. Vancouver is an example, but the problem exists throughout Canada. Athletes are role models for our young people, but they should be for all Canadians, of all languages. I hope they will all have an opportunity to see the games and participate.
The Commissioner of Official Languages made 18 recommendations last December. There being so many may be dangerous. I have noted some of the ones that are very important, to my mind. The commissioner called for a regular report as well as a summary of outstanding issues to be subsequently sent to the VANOC Executive Committee and to the board's Human Resources Committee.
I would like to know what has been noted and if there has been any follow-up.
