Mr. Speaker, it is Science Literacy Week, a time to highlight Canada's outstanding scientists and showcase the excellence and diversity of their research.
Our government understands the importance of science. We have unmuzzled scientists, appointed a chief science advisor, and made historic investments in research that will help boost our economy and benefit middle-class Canadians. It is part of our vision to strengthen science and nurture a culture of curiosity in Canada.
On Wednesday, the Prime Minister's science fair will take place here in Centre Block where students from across Canada will display their impressive experiments. It is these young people who are the future of science in Canada.
I encourage all members of the House to support these students and support and attend science literacy events happening in their ridings.
