Mr. Speaker, today I would like to draw the House's attention to an absolute scientific treasure located in the riding of Beauport—Limoilou: the VITAM research centre, a sustainable health centre of excellence.
VITAM's vision is both simple and inspiring: Healthy minds and bodies living in healthy environments on a healthy planet.
Under the leadership of professor and researcher Jean‑Pierre Després, VITAM is expanding the boundaries of our understanding of health by integrating human, social and environmental dimensions.
VITAM represents the best of what Beauport—Limoilou has to offer: a community dedicated to innovation, compassion and knowledge, where science truly serves the people.
I am deeply grateful to VITAM's researchers and its whole team for their essential contribution to Canadians' health and to the advancement of scientific knowledge in Quebec and Canada.
