Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride and pleasure that I rise to again honour Canada's curlers.
For the first time all major Canadian curling teams have swept their way to world championships. In both women's and men's senior and women's and men's junior playdowns, Canada's curlers walked off with the gold.
I want to extend special acknowledgement to Saanich-Gulf Islander Elaine Dagg-Jackson who was team leader for the Canadian junior world curling team. Elaine and members of all our teams have proven Canada to be a powerhouse in world curing. Caught between a rock and a hard place they consistently drew to the button.
I know all members of the House join me in applauding these outstanding athletes.
