Mrs. Alice Wong (Richmond, CPC):
Mr. Speaker, 2010 has been Canada’s year.

We had the Vancouver Olympics and Paralympics, Canada’s games. Our athletes won more gold medals than any country has ever won at a winter Olympics.

We hosted back-to-back gatherings of the G8 and G20.

We took the lead on child and maternal health, fiscal consolidation and deficit reduction, and financial sector reform. We made real progress, with Canadian solutions leading the way.

On Canada’s 143rd birthday, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth was joined here on Parliament Hill with 100,000 Canadians.

What I am most proud of is our government’s success in steering our country through the worst global economic crisis since the second world war. Canada’s economic action plan is creating jobs and strengthening our communities.

What a great year it has been for Canada, our gold medal country.
