Mr. Speaker, Claims · 133 wordsrecently Canada was selected to host the Defence, Security and Resilience Bank following negotiations among allied countries.¹ This decision reflects the confidence of our allies and will lead to the creation of a defence-funding institution, providing affordable loans and facilitating strategic investments. As Canada’s national capital region, Ottawa-Gatineau is uniquely positioned to host the DSRB. Home to more than 130 missions, it is a recognized defence and security innovation hub with world-class research institutions, cutting-edge laboratories and a rare ecosystem where government, industry, academia and the security sector work together.² Ottawa and Gatineau have the largest pool of specialized defence talent in the country, supported by a highly bilingual workforce.³ I join my NCR colleagues and the mayors of Ottawa and Gatineau in strongly supporting Ottawa-Gatineau as the ideal home for the DSRB.
