Madam Speaker, I am here to share an update from the West Island of Montreal. There was an exciting announcement made earlier this week in CLSC de Pierrefonds. Along with the Canadian Space Agency, CIUSSS de l'Ouest-de-l'Île-de-Montréal and David Saint-Jacques, the astronaut, we talked about and unveiled a pilot project that deals with telemedicine.
Telemedicine is a really innovative thing. It allows for health care to be delivered remotely and for physicians and health care professionals to make assessments of individuals, people, even though they are not face to face. It has real-world applications, but it was developed in outer space. This technology was made for astronauts, but it has now been applied here at home, within Pierrefonds, at the CLSC.
I want to thank Lisa Campbell, president of the Canadian Space Agency, and the entire team—
