John Furlong Great Quotations

Our vision has been for a long time that we are Canada's Games. We want to include every Canadian in these Games, so that when the world comes to Canada in 2010 that it is a source of great pride for everyone.

This announcement brings us another step closer to ensuring that more Canadian athletes experience the greatness of standing on the podium representing Canada in 2010.

The private sector really is who we turn to put on the games, so we will have to generate about $1.7 billion from the private sector. We've got off to a great start.
