Mr. Speaker, please join me in paying tribute today to Canada's Commonwealth Games team.
Canada is very proud of the accomplishments of our Canadian team which participated this past summer at the 17th Commonwealth Games in Manchester, England. This was Canada's best performance at the Commonwealth Games, with a total of 116 medals. Canadians can be very proud of the 281 athletes who have dedicated many years of hard work to compete in these prestigious games.
The athletes are truly great ambassadors for our country, and all Canadians are very appreciative of their efforts.
On behalf of all Canadians, I pay tribute our athletes for their impressive performances. We thank them for having represented us so well.
