Mr. Speaker, our government is indeed very concerned about the Asian financial crisis and its impact on British Columbia. That is why we are supporting international efforts to stabilize the troubled Asian countries. At the same time we continue to promote job growth and exports by organizing Team Canada and other trade missions to the region.
We continue also to invest in technologies in British Columbia. Just a couple of weeks ago the Minister of Industry announced a $300 million project with MDA in B.C. to build a new satellite.
