Health  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question, but I have to call him out on what he said. I spoke with Dr. Kobinger personally and we agreed on the next steps.

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for her excellent question and also her hard work on this file. Canadian innovations in clean technology are at the core of our green recovery.

With our investments in firms such as Optel Group in Quebec City or PyroGenesis in Montreal, we are enhancing support for Canadian innovators and entrepreneurs while helping to reach our climate targets.

These investments include more than $1.7 billion to foster innovation and $250 million to better position our small and medium-sized businesses.
