In the video, we see and hear Minister St-Onge cheering on the Canadian Paralympic team. Read what she says:
Hi Team Canada.
We’re finally here—at the Paralympic Winter Games.
It’s your moment to shine and celebrate your achievements.
As athletes, you’ve faced many challenges, including training and competing during a global pandemic.
[Translated from French] And now, your arrival at these Games coincides with President Putin’s unprovoked and horrific attacks on Ukraine.
[Translated from French] The international sport community has been strong and unified in its response.
[Translated from French] I am extremely proud to be a part of this community and to represent you as Canada’s Minister of Sport.
As the Paralympic Games open, your well-being is paramount.
I support you 100 percent and I am confident that the Canadian Paralympic Committee and your national sports organizations are looking out for you in these challenging times.
We are so proud of you.
[Translated from French] And we’re looking forward to seeing you give it your all.
[Translated from French] We know that every one of you has the makings of a champion.
[Translated from French] Now, go for it! And know that the whole country is behind you. Have a great Games!
