Mr. Speaker, my question is for the parliamentary secretary responsible for fitness and amateur sport.
The recent report of the core sport commissioner recommended among other things the elimination of federal funding for 19 amateur sport programs. Six of the targeted programs are Olympic sports, two of which saw gold medal performances for Canada from Myriam Bédard and Jean-Luc Brassard at Lillehammer. The report also recommended cutting funding to lacrosse which we in this House just declared Canada's national summer sport.
Will my hon. colleague give this House her assurance that these recommendations will never see the light of day?
