Mr. Speaker, as the chair of the Canada-Taiwan Friendship Group, I am honoured to rise today and welcome to the Hill the president of the Taiwanese Chambers of Commerce of North America. Delegates have come from across the continent in the spirit of new opportunities and stronger trade.
This week, I have the privilege of hosting two important events: a parliamentary discussion on Canada-Taiwan relations and the vibrant celebration of Taiwan Night 2025, celebrating the strong and growing ties between Canada and Taiwan that are rooted in shared democracy, values, mutual respect and a commitment to economic co-operation.
Like Canada, Taiwan is a dynamic and innovative partner. By expanding trade, investment and cultural exchange, we strengthen supply chains, foster prosperity and build bridges that transcend borders and oceans.
I thank our guests for this dedication and look forward to seeing everyone tonight at Taiwan Night 2025.
