As Secretary of State for Amateur Sport, I want to keep you informed about what the Government of Canada, through Sport Canada, is doing to keep sport vital and accessible to all Canadians. You'll see them performing at the Olympics, the Paralympics, the Commonwealth Games, the Jeux de la Francophonie, the Pan American Games, and many other international competitions. These athletes have trained long and hard to become the very best they can be. And that's something all Canadians can share with our top athletes. Sport offers all of us the opportunity to enjoy ourselves, to feel good about being fit, to feel confident when we meet and overcome challenges.
Sport can be the key to a better life.
I think sport is important to Canadians and to Canadian society. That's why it's important to work on issues like anti-doping, so that we can make sport an activity that truly represents everything that is great about Canada. I'd like to hear your comments and suggestions.
