Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the remarkable contribution made by Happy Yak, an innovative company from Cowansville, in my riding, to the Artemis II mission.
Happy Yak's expertise in sustainable and functional food was a perfect fit for the rigorous demands of space exploration, as the company has developed solutions tailored to some of the most extreme environments imaginable. Its participation in the Artemis II mission is a testament to the exceptional expertise found in our regions and the ability of our businesses to make an impact far beyond our borders. Happy Yak's commitment demonstrates that local innovation can have a global and even an extraterrestrial impact.
This is a great source of pride for Brome—Missisquoi, for Quebec and for all of Canada. I want to congratulate Guy Dubuc and his entire team on this inspiring achievement and on the example it sets for young people who dream of science, innovation and bold action.
