Madam Speaker, last week, I was proud to announce funding to two excellent organizations in Surrey that are helping our veterans. BC/Yukon Legion Foundation and the Legion Veterans Village received $9 million to help our veterans who are facing homelessness with access to housing and wraparound services. While the opposition talks about program cuts, our government is there for our veterans and the groups that support them.
Just last month, PacifiCan announced $3.8 million to HealthTech Connex, a bioscience company based in Surrey that has developed NeuroCatch, a brain-imaging device that leads to more accurate diagnoses of concussions and head injuries. Thanks to federal funding, HealthTech Connex will increase its sales and operational capacities to create 40-plus highly skilled jobs. This is a tremendous illustration of our government's commitment to continuing to strengthen Canada's economy at home and around the world.
