Mrs. Gabrielle Bertrand (Brome -Missisquoi):

Madam Speaker, all Canadians take tremendous pride in the outstanding achievements of our figure skaters. It was not luck but a combination of hard work, perseverance and a very legitimate desire to win for their country.
Emotions ran high as we watched remarkable performances by Isabelle Brasseur and Lloyd Eisler, Kurt Browning and Elvis Stojko. Today, our hearts will go out again, this time to Josee Chouinard and Karen Preston, as they too go for the gold.
To all these outstanding athletes we offer our warm congratulations on reaching the top of their discipline and being the best in the world. Their determination, strength of character and courage are an inspiration to Canada's youth. Truly, they are the best ambassadors Canada could have.
