Mr. Speaker, this past weekend, I was honoured to partner with the Whitby Chamber of Commerce in hosting our second annual Whitby job fair. More than 1,000 job seekers connected with 33 local employers, opening doors and building brighter futures in our community.
I thank the Whitby Chamber of Commerce, Karey Anne Large and Gizem Uysal for their help in making this event a success. It was a pleasure to engage with employers such as the Canadian Armed Forces and the Canada Border Services Agency, which offer fulfilling careers in service to all Canadians.
Our new government is creating jobs, supporting workers and driving growth with transformative projects, such as Ontario Power Generation's Darlington nuclear project, which will bring 1,600 new jobs to Durham region.
The Whitby job fair exemplifies our commitment to supporting Canadian workers and industries by helping them expand the opportunities they need to step boldly into the future. That is how we build Canada strong.
