Mr. Speaker, the opening ceremony for the 24th Winter Olympic Games took place this morning in Beijing. We have a duty to remember that these Olympics never should have been held in China, whose government is guilty of committing genocide against its own people, the Uighurs. However, we also need to remember that this is not our athletes' decision and it is not their fault. Quebec's athletes are as brave as the Government of Canada is cowardly when it come to China. These Quebeckers have dedicated their entire lives to their sport and, today, they have the opportunity to show the whole world just how talented they are. On behalf of the Bloc Québécois, I want to wish the best of luck to all athletes from every region of Quebec. I hope that they will perform as well as they hope, that all their hard work will pay off and that their Olympic dreams will come true. All of Quebec is rooting for our Olympians.
