Michael Chambers Quotations

Similar to the Canadian Olympic team, we attacked to get the win.

Mr. Gretzky is very capable of dealing with this story on his own accord and we see nothing in this story that requires any Olympic response at this time.

Our goal is to limit the number of distractions from what is proving to be an enormously successful winter season for Canadian athletes.

We obviously want to get details about this before we know what to do.

Even if you accept the reports and the various suggestions in them involving Wayne Gretzky, nothing suggests he was involved in an illegal act. So, we're not engaged in the situation other than following the reports and there's no reason at all for him to not be involved in the games.

Real discretionary spending has been cut to the bone. That would gel with the sense we get in Indonesia of a very sharp drop in consumer durable purchases, motorcycles. If you go to electronic shops you'll see a sharp decline there as well.

Young people must have a connection with Dr. King and what he stood for. Dr. King talked about having been to the mountaintop and seen the other side. So many of these kids today are struggling to get there.

This grant is another validation of our technology,

It's a great day for sport and fair play and equity in the Olympic Games. We frankly climbed a mountain here, and lo and behold we reached the top.

Its original intent has been turned on its head. The medals are best awarded at venues immediately after the event.

This is a very exciting time for high-performance sport in our country.

That's an NHL issue. It's an issue for those who may be involved but it's not an issue for the Canadian Olympic team.

I'm sure when Gretzky arrives, a lot of the media will be interested in talking to him, but I don't think that's going to distract our athletes in any way.

Canada has a strong history of medal success in all three sports and the removal of these sports may diminish our overall medal count at future Pan American Games,

The COC openly expressed its support for the inclusion of these sports at the assembly. It's extremely unfortunate that these sports will no longer be showcased at the Pan American Games.
