Mr. Speaker, the effort to attract a major semi-conductor manufacturing facility to Canada continues to be a top priority of investment partnerships Canada. It is working together between my department and that of the Minister for International Trade in partnership with the provincial governments in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Quebec, as well as the private sector and many representatives from various universities and colleges across Canada.
I am convinced, based on the information we have gleaned, that we remain a very competitive site for the location of such a facility. I am determined that Canada will win such a facility in the near future.
