“I want to congratulate Durham College. Our government is funding its research centres so it can help local businesses use artificial intelligence, make new products, and compete globally.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I could not be more proud that Durham College is helping shape Canada’s future through innovation, talent and technology. Under the leadership at Durham College’s centre for innovation and research, its AI Hub and Mixed Reality Capture Studio are helping Canadian businesses adopt emerging technologies, improve productivity and bring new products to market. As members of Tech-Access Canada, these centres connect small and medium-sized businesses, including those in my riding of Whitby, with specialized expertise, equipment and applied research support. Through our government’s AI for all strategy and renewed financial support for the college and community innovation program in the spring economic update, which funds the Tech-Access centres, Durham College will be able to support hundreds of Canadian companies in adopting artificial intelligence, commercializing new technologies and competing globally. I want to say, on behalf of all members on this side of the House, congratulations to Durham College for all the work it does to ensure that Canadian innovators succeed.
