“Our $755-million investment in sports is good news. It supports our athletes, keeps youth out of trouble, helps seniors stay active and connected, and builds a stronger Canada.”
“Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague the member for Les Pays-d’en-Haut for that excellent question. An investment of $755 million is great news for sport. Why do we need to invest in sport? First, it is to support our athletes. Second, it is to keep our young people off the streets and help them benefit from and find joy in playing together. Third, it is to help our seniors break their isolation and be active for life. Fourth, it is to ensure that we are there to build Canada strong together. Let us celebrate this investment in sport.”
