Mr. Speaker, let us start 1994 with an example of Canadians already solving problems of the 21st century.
Labotix Automation has a new plant in Peterborough to make robot-like equipment for testing medical, agricultural and environmental samples.
The Canadians in this Canadian company are addressing concerns we have about AIDS, our national blood supply, environmental pollution and the cost of medicare. Their technology allows the sampling of all kinds of fluids. They are showing how we can compete in the global market by putting this quality Peterborough product into 80 nations. They are also showing how to create jobs and train young Canadians. Their success is based on the talents of young Canadian engineers, technologists and computer people.
In Peterborough, Canadians are facing the next century with confidence.
