Mr. Speaker, this month we are celebrating National Engineering Month across the country. It is an opportunity for young Canadians to learn about the exciting, fun and rewarding world of careers in engineering.
I graduated from the Université de Sherbrooke and am proud of the years I spent in environmental engineering and urban infrastructure before getting into politics.
I thank Engineers Canada for bestowing on me the designation of “Fellow”.
With its immense natural resources, Canada is a country under construction, a land of opportunity for engineers. On this March 8, I especially want to acknowledge the women who have chosen to become engineers. With their accomplishments and determination, these women are building a better and more egalitarian Canada.
This week, we have a great opportunity to showcase the achievements of women and men in engineering and to share their successes and accomplishments.
Let us celebrate National Engineering Month across the country.
