“Leaders from Queen's University are visiting Parliament Hill today. The university does important research in defence, new technology, and science that helps Canada stay safe and competitive.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to welcome leaders from Queen’s University to Parliament Hill. Founded in 1841 in Kingston, well before Confederation, Queen’s has a long tradition of academic excellence and public service, helping shape generations of leaders in Canada and beyond. Today, it remains a national leader in research, innovation and education, with work that aligns closely with Canada’s priorities. Its contributions in areas such as defence research, advanced technologies and high-performance computing are helping strengthen our security, competitiveness and innovation capacity. Through strong partnerships and commitment to excellence in science, engineering and talent development, Queen’s plays an important role in keeping Canada resilient and looking forward in a rapidly changing world. I thank the delegation for their leadership and engagement and wish them a productive visit.
