Mr. Speaker, I rise today to make you, our Prime Minister, my colleagues in the House and in fact all of Canada aware of one of the greatest economic opportunities in industry.
The opportunity I speak of is Simcoe—Grey. Simcoe—Grey is situated in the most beautiful part of southwestern Ontario and indeed all of Canada. We are strategically located within a two hour drive of well over 10 million people.
We also have access to a variety of university and college campuses. These facts, coupled with a group of mayors and councillors that are willing to work with business, make my riding an ideal investment opportunity.
I ask industry officials to think of the potential: the third largest market area in North America, skilled labour pools, open for business attitude and a quality of life second to none.
On behalf of the residents of Simcoe—Grey I say please visit our riding. We are open for business.
