Mr. Speaker, with an energy grid that is 97% clean, a strong manufacturing and agricultural sector and a diverse population, Manitoba is a key economic driver for Canada. In order to help realize our potential, we rely on the strengths of PrairiesCan, our regional development agency. Some members of the opposition have suggested that investments in PrairiesCan are not worthwhile. Could the Minister for Prairies Economic Development please inform us of the important role that the agency plays in supporting the Prairie region?

Mr. Speaker, no matter where I go in the Prairies, the great work done by PrairiesCan is greatly appreciated. PrairiesCan created or maintained over 150,000 jobs in over 6,300 businesses. Whether it is better positioning hydrogen in Edmonton, supporting work done by the Saskatchewan Research Council in Saskatoon or helping New Flyer build net-zero buses in Winnipeg, PrairiesCan is making necessary investments in Prairie businesses to help grow our economy. If Conservatives understood this important work, they would not be calling to abolish it. It is simply shameful.
