Mr. Speaker, this is the House of Commons of the people of Canada. I am concerned about Canadian athletes.
In fact what was going on in that particular event, when we were trying to get the francophone games here, was that we simply outbid France and Lebanon in order to get them here.
I still ask the same question. What are our priorities? Why is it that when we do not have enough money to be able to support our Canadian athletes we can support foreign athletes, about 2,000 of them, at Canadian taxpayers' expense to come here?
