Mr. Speaker, I thank our colleague for this opportunity to pay tribute to the Canadian athletes who will show us want they can do in the XVII Winter Olympic Games, in Lillehammer. Incidentally, I would say that they are going over there to win medals, not to play politics.
As the hon. member for Verdun-Saint-Paul pointed out earlier, the Canadian Olympic Association released earlier today the list of athletes who are going to Lillehammer. This list released just hours ago clearly indicates who the Canadians participants will be, and I am very proud to report that more that 30 per cent are from Quebec.
