Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for an excellent speech, especially on the sport side.
I do not agree with my colleague's remarks about participation. When girls won the 2012 soccer bronze medal, participation in soccer skyrocketed. We have over one million kids registered in soccer across the country, and 42% of them are girls.
When I talk to people, especially athletes, they tell me they love the credit. Parents love this credit, as it helps them register their kids into different sports. I think that is the biggest single help they are getting with this budget.
I would ask my colleague to explain how families back home are reacting to this tax credit for participation in sports.
