John-Paul Danko Liberal
“Our plan spends money on community and sports facilities, plus 775 million dollars directly for sports. I agree the federal government needs to lead in funding sports alongside provinces and cities, and I will keep pushing for that.”
“Mr. Speaker, it is important to recognize that part of the build Canada strong fund, that $51-billion build communities strong fund, also includes investment in community infrastructure, recreation infrastructure and sport infrastructure. On top of that is a specific $775 million to build up sport across Canada, as I said, from house league level all the way up to Olympic level athletes. I completely agree with the member opposite that the federal government needs to take a leadership role in investing in sports and sports infrastructure, along with partnerships with the provinces and municipalities across Canada. That is something I will continue to advocate for.”
