ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 1-17(4): MICHAEL GILDAY – SPEED SKATING NATIONAL CHAMPION

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise to acknowledge and congratulate my constituent Michael Gilday on his January 20th first place victory at the Canadian Open Short-track Speed Skating Championships in Montreal. Advancing steadily from his 2011 fifth place and 2012 third place finishes in this event, Michael Gilday is now the national champion in this world-class competition. Michael edged out defending champion Charles Hamelin and also placed fourth in both the 1,000 and 3,000 metre races.

I invite all Members to join me once again in offering hearty congratulations to Michael, and wish him great success throughout the remainder of this 2012-13 World Cup season. Michael, you make us proud. Mahsi.
