Mr. Speaker, while the Conservative government continues to diminish Canada's stellar reputation on the world stage, fortunately Canadians are doing just the opposite.
This past weekend, Canadians from across the country proved to the world that Canada is a leading nation on many fronts.
In music, indie pop sensation Arcade Fire made Montrealers and all Canadians proud last night when they took home the coveted Album of the Year award at the Grammies, while Neil Young proved he is still “rockin' in the free world” with his Best Rock Song win.
In sport, Ontario tennis champ, Milos Raonic yesterday became the first Canadian in 16 years to capture an ATP Tour title at the SAP Open in San Jose, California.
And Érik Guay won gold at the Alpine World Ski Championships in Germany.
Whether on stage, on the courts or on the slopes, this weekend was Canada's.
On behalf of the Liberal Party of Canada, I would like to congratulate all of this weekend's winners.
