Madam Speaker, I thank the member for his work and for his advocacy for Atlantic Canadian excellence.
This past weekend, we announced Canada's first maritime defence innovation secure hub, or DISH, at COVE in Dartmouth—Cole Harbour. This is a brand new, $30-million hub. We will bring together, for the first time, defence and security partners, industry, academia and naval operators to develop, test and transition new maritime technologies. From coast to coast to coast, we are investing millions in building up a resilient innovation industry right here at home.
