Mr. Speaker, our government is committed to seeing our carded athletes succeed at the highest level.
That is why I am very pleased we are investing $25 million over the next five years in our athletes. This will allow us to put $265 more a month in the pockets of these athletes. This will allow them to pay for rent and food, so they can concentrate on their athletics. This is their first raise in 14 long years.
Our government is committed to seeing them succeed in PyeongChang and beyond. We are committed to our athletes.
