Mr. Speaker, in Halifax West our government is fulfilling its commitment to youth and technology by funding an innovative project.
Recently I had the pleasure of attending the launching of Starlab, a cutting edge teaching tool. For school children, this mobile planetarium generates interest in the sciences by changing the focus from lecturing to experiencing. This was made possible by funding from ACOA and InNOVAcorp.
Two priorities of the industry portfolio are: developing youth and enhancing technology. Starlab does both.
The $20,000 in federal funding for Starlab is an investment in Canada's future and evidence of our government's commitment to youth and technology.
