Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member for this question. The Commonwealth Games contribute to our sporting heritage and provide an opportunity to promote sports, physical activity, and culture.
Our country's athletes are an enormous source of pride and inspiration for all Canadians. That is why, under the leadership of our Prime Minister, we have committed record levels of funding to amateur sports while still working toward a balanced budget.
I would encourage all Canadians to get behind our athletes when they are headed to Glasgow this summer for the Commonwealth Games. Go, Canada, go.
