Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I stand today to give honour to our men and women who went to the Olympics, those who won the medals on our behalf. Especially the final day there, on Sunday, when the men took the gold. It was a great day for Canadians.

I had the opportunity to be in Victoria that day to see the last period and see the Canadians win the gold. The spontaneous reaction of the citizens, not only in Victoria but throughout the whole country in celebrating Canada's victory, was a great patriotic time. We saw on TV that we as Canadians were very proud to be Canadians that day.

I just wanted to say thank you and congratulations to the Olympic gold medal winners. Thank you.
