Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to welcome the Swiss delegation and the President of the National Council of the Swiss Confederation to Canada this week.
Canada and Switzerland are bound not only by friendship but by a shared commitment to democracy, innovation and the rule of law.
For decades, our two countries have been working closely together to promote peace, prosperity and international co-operation.
At a time of global uncertainty, partnerships like ours matter more than ever. They remind us that progress is built through dialogue, trust and common purpose. As chair of the Canada-Switzerland Parliamentary Friendship Group, I am proud to highlight this visit and celebrate the enduring ties between our two nations.
Together, we will continue to strengthen this relationship for the benefit of our fellow citizens and future generations.
