D.18 - General Debate

Madam Deputy Speaker,

As a fan of Sports, I would like to ask why our Woman's National Football team is doing so poorly, and as the coach put it:

"We will never have that quality to compete with Japan and even be better than Japan. That's not working."

"[Japan] have I think 127 million people in [their] country, we have 4.5 million, so there must be a difference. There is more money, more facilities, better coaches in the country. The gap is that big, so for that I think we tried to do our best and the girls have done that."

While I applaud the work our team has done, will we begin to examine the state of our National Football Team and see if we could potentially fund them more?
