Mr. Speaker, today I ask you and my colleagues in the House to join me in sending congratulations and best wishes for a full recovery to Elvis Stojko, Olympic silver medalist.
As he said in an interview yesterday “Focus on what you believe in and remember what the important things in life are”. It is a simple message and one that we should live by and remember. By his grit and determination and by giving no excuses, he has led by his very example and is a role model for all Canadians. Richmond Hill's own Elvis has demonstrated that commitment to ideals and goals is something that all Canadians can relate to.
We thank Elvis for persevering and personifying the true Olympic spirit. Congratulations to Elvis.
