The delegation has decided to choose Yang Yang as the flag bearer in the opening ceremony, and it is the first time that we choose a female bearer in the Olympics both in Summer's and Winter's.

I am honored to be selected as Canada's flag bearer for the closing ceremony of the 2006 Olympic Winter Games. Over the past 16 days we've had some outstanding performances by Canadian athletes and it is truly overwhelming to be selected as the flag bearer amidst the most successful Canadian Olympic Winter Games team ever.

Our opening ceremony this year is really exciting.

It was really quite moving to see all of the participants in the opening ceremony.

After an hour and a half, I think the delegation decided that that was long enough to try to fix the situation and they decided to leave.

Without the ability to delegate,there will be no business in life.
