Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for her leadership on diabetes. We cannot build Canada strong without healthy Canadians. Investments like these show our commitment to building a more resilient, modern and sustainable health care system. Thanks to our investment, we are helping create approximately 400 jobs across the Vancouver region, which is great news for the economy and the people. Just as importantly, it shows that we want next-generation health care solutions to be built here in Canada.
