The diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Olympics announced by the Canadian government should not deprive athletes of their biggest dream, believes Pascale St-Onge, Federal Minister of Sports and Member of Parliament for Brome-Missisquoi. In interview with The voice of the east, she said she wanted to work for them.
“For the Canadian government, it is important to distinguish between the political actions to be taken and the work of the athletes. They have been training for years to achieve a level of performance like this. It was important not to deprive them of their goal, ”she explains.
