Mr. Speaker, this past summer Strategis went platinum. Over one million Canadians have opened the door to the government's online business information source.
In fact, Strategis has become one of the top 4% of the busiest Internet sites in the world. Industry Canada is working to bring even more Canadian businesses in touch with Canada's largest business site through the student connection program.
Under the student connection program college and university students show business people how to use the Internet and make the most of new technologies like Strategis.
This being Canada's national science and technology week, it is fitting to promote the proactive work the government is doing to help businesses. Together we are working to ensure Canadian businesses are on the leading edge of information and technology and are ready for business in the 21st century.
