Mr. Speaker, today we welcome the Queen's Baton to Canada. The baton, made especially for the 20th Commonwealth Games, is making its way through 70 nations and territories participating in Glasgow next summer.
Of course, later this week, after stops here in Ottawa and then in Toronto, the baton will make its way to my part of the country, Hamilton, which I am proud to say hosted the first games in 1930.
Can the Minister of State for Sport please share with the House what our government is doing to support our athletes in Glasgow this summer?
