Mr. Chair, the Secretary of State for Sport spoke highly of the athletes' assistance program, which gave a record number of medals at the Turin games, a program which was funded by the last Liberal government.
Now, the athletes who want to go to Beijing want to win medals too. They are waiting for the government to put its commitment into a $30 million fund for which they have been begging.
When will the government commit itself to high performance athletes and not continue to feed off the Liberal fund that we put into it?
