As the single largest contributor to sport in this country, our Government recognizes that the Olympic Games provideCanada with the opportunity to promote Canadian culture and athleticism, while sharing our values of openness, equality, and respect for human rights.
Support from the private sector, like that announced today, will play a key role in ensuring that Canada maintains its status as a leading sport nation on the international stage.
I would also like to thank the Canadian Olympic Committee for its ongoing dedication to promoting Olympic ideals and excellence.
As Minister of State (Sport), I wish all of our athletes the best of luck as they continue their pursuit of excellence as we head toward the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games.
