Mr. Speaker, cold weather will soon be setting in and this reminds us that our remarkable Canadian athletes will be participating in the 2014 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Sochi, Russia, in less than 500 days.
Canadians will once again be going for gold against the best in the world. They deserve our country's full support and encouragement.
Canadians from coast to coast to coast are already familiar with the famous HBC Olympic mittens worn to show support for our amazing athletes in Vancouver, West Vancouver and Whistler.
Today, in recognition and support for our Olympic and Paralympic hopefuls training for Sochi, I would like to draw the attention of the House to the next generation of HBC Canadian Olympic red mittens that will be helping Canadians show their Sochi stripes in support of our amazing Olympic and Paralympic winter athletes during the World Cup season and right up to Sochi 2014.
Go, Canada, go.
