Mr. Speaker, contrary to earlier news reports Elvis is very much alive and has not left the building.
Last night in Lausanne, Switzerland, Canadian figure skating champion Elvis Stojko reclaimed his world championship title, his third in four years. Elvis was in fourth place after the short program earlier this week, but last night he delivered a masterful performance that included the first quad-triple combination to be landed in world championship competition.
Elvis is indeed god of the quad. His performance included not only the quad but eight other triple jumps and a virtually flawless performance that led to his come from behind victory against stiff competition from the reigning U.S. champ and strong Russian contingent.
On behalf of the constituents of Okanagan Centre, all members of the House and all Canadians, I congratulate Elvis.
