Mr. Speaker, I would like to begin by congratulating my colleague on his election and telling the people of Chicoutimi—Le Fjord that they will have a strong voice here in Ottawa.
My colleague is right. We are entering this economic period from a position of strength and confidence. Canada has what the world needs, and investors are noticing, as he said. We have the talent, we have the industries, we have the critical minerals, we have the energy, and we are the only G7 country that has a free trade agreement with every other G7 country. Let us seize this opportunity. Let us be as ambitious as the folks in these industries, and let us build a strong Canada together.
