Mr. Speaker, the discovery of one of Franklin's ships is truly a historic moment. I want to take this opportunity to thank the commanding officer and crew of the Canadian Coast Guard ship Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the Canadian Hydrographic Service for their valuable logistical and scientific contributions.
I am very proud of the work that our government is doing in the Arctic, from icebreaking to pollution response, to search and rescue, to scientific research. This work is crucial to fostering economic and social development in the north and ensuring environmental protection of this pristine part of our country.
We are committed to strengthening Canada's north, and that is why we continue to make record investments in the Canadian Coast Guard.
