Mr. Speaker, Canadian curlers are the best in the world. They proved this in Hamilton last month.
On March 30 the Canadian women's team won the women's World Curling Championships. The high powered and charismatic women's team skipped by Marilyn Bodogh from the St. Catharines Curling Club with vice Kim Gellard, second Corie Beveridge and lead Jane Hooper Perroud did Canada proud.
On March 31 the Canadian men's team won the men's World Curling Championships.
Friends, family and Canadian curling fans cheered our teams on and shared in the joy of winning the worlds for Canada.
I know my colleagues in this House join me in congratulating these outstanding Canadian athletes. Their talent and determination are exemplary and we are proud of them as proud Canadians.
