Madam Speaker, as a proud founding member of NATO, we know Canada must do our fair share on the world stage. This week, I was very pleased to open one of three international headquarters for the NATO Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic, or DIANA, in Halifax. DIANA will facilitate co-operation between military operators and NATO's best and brightest start-ups, researchers and tech companies.
While the Conservatives are against funding for NATO DIANA, on this side of the House, we are investing in Atlantic Canadian ingenuity and promoting NATO's defence excellence here at home.
