Mr. Speaker, Canada is home to some of the greatest filmmakers, actors and producers the world has to offer, and just last week, we saw exactly that at the Toronto International Film Festival with innovation hubs showcasing new ways of storytelling, content creators proving that Canadian talent belongs on the world's biggest screens and a reminder that our country continues to attract global attention. Could the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages tell us about the work Canada is doing to foster these international friendships so that our audiovisual sector can continue to thrive both at home and around the world?

Mr. Speaker, young Canadians are eager to work, gain experience and build their careers. Whether it is a summer position, an internship or their first step into the workforce, landing that first job can make all the difference. Can the Minister of Jobs and Families update the House on how our government is connecting young Canadians with employers and creating opportunities for them to succeed?

Madam Speaker, climate change is the reason I first joined the world of politics. It is one of the defining challenges of our time and hits the world's most vulnerable the hardest. As the global economy transitions to low-carbon pathways to respond, developing countries are seeking partnerships to reduce emissions, build resilience and drive sustainable growth. Could the parliamentary secretary for international development tell the House how Canada's international climate finance is finding solutions and delivering results for those most affected by climate change?

Mr. Speaker, our economic future depends on the people building it. One of the greatest privileges of my role is getting to speak with young people across our country. I hear every day that they want to be involved, and they know they can be central to building Canada's future. As we move forward with major infrastructure projects, can my good friend, the Minister of Jobs and Families, update the House on how our government is ensuring young Canadians are positioned to take advantage of these opportunities and help drive our ambitious economic agenda at a time when others just want to cut supports?

Mr. Speaker, today perhaps more than ever, Canada has what the world wants. This past year, we welcomed a record number of visitors, with last summer alone generating over $60 billion in tourism revenue. In Mississauga, we see that potential first-hand, from Square One to Celebration Square, from the Riverwood Conservancy to Port Credit, and from Streetsville and the Egyptian Museum to, of course, Ridgeway Plaza. As we mark the start of National Tourism Week, can Mississauga's own, the Minister of Women and Gender Equality and Secretary of State for Small Business and Tourism, share how our government will continue to support our tourism sector, create good jobs and strengthen our economy?
