I do apologize, Mr. Speaker. It was a rookie mistake. I would like to thank the leader of my party for being there.
I would also like to congratulate the 4,000 young men and women who came from all 10 provinces and 2 territories and demonstrated both the spirit of sport and the spirit of unity.
I thank also the 6,000 volunteers that took part in my community and the surrounding area to put on the best ever Canada games.
I would like to conclude with a remark that was made by a father of one of those athletes. “There are very few things that seem to be able to bring Canada together lately and this is one of them. Our most valuable resource in this country is our youth and if anybody is going to pull it together it is going to be them”.
