Mr. Speaker, a few weeks ago, Brampton welcomed the Prime Minister. He announced high-tech jobs in my riding of Brampton South.
Amazon opened Canada's first-ever Amazon high-tech robotic distribution centre in Brampton. The Prime Minister and provincial and city partners were together to share the positive news.
The facility has already hired over 300 employees, and is expected to create more than 700 jobs in total. This facility will create good, well-paying jobs that will help middle-class families in Brampton.
Canada is becoming a global centre for innovation. I am so proud that Amazon decided to grow here and to hire our talented people. I want to thank the Prime Minister for coming to personally give the good news about these jobs.
