Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise in the House on behalf of the people of Beaches—East York for the first time. They sent me here to help bring down costs for families, protect workers and businesses, and build a more prosperous Canada for all. Can the Minister of Industry please update the House on the work being done to attract new investment, diversify markets and build a stronger economy?

“Canada is a great place to invest. Last week, a meeting with foreign investors led to almost $500 billion in new investments for our businesses, workers, and infrastructure.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I want to welcome my fantastic colleague to the House. In this rapidly changing world, investors are looking for new markets and stable partners, and last week made it clear that Canada is that place. The investment summit attracted investors from almost 30 countries, which manage more than $100 trillion in assets. We were able to showcase to them how much Canada has to offer. The investment summit also unleashed nearly $500 billion of new investments into Canadian businesses, workers and infrastructure.
