Thank you, Mayor Provenzano. It’s great to be back in beautiful Sault Ste. Marie. It’s really a pleasure to be back here. I had a really productive visit last year, and I learned a lot about the economic priorities of northern Ontario, but especially beautiful Sault Ste. Marie.

Good morning, everyone. I want to begin by acknowledging that we are on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit and the Haudenosaunee. My nephew told me a few weeks ago, he called me very excitedly and said, “this city will never be the same. The Toronto Raptors have made it to the finals.” I said, “no, wait until we win the championship.” He said, “no, it’s good enough that we made the finals.” It’s really good to see that game three resulted in our success and I’m so excited to be back here.

Thank you, bonjour, bon matin. I was supposed to be here yesterday. I really wanted to make the announcement yesterday here in Sudbury, but the weather wouldn’t cooperate. I spent last night trying to convince Air Canada to make a special flight for me to arrive in Sudbury but here we are.

Good morning. Thank you for joining us here at S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Before I begin I’d like to acknowledge that we are on the traditional territories of the Musqueam, the Tsleil-Waututh and the Squamish Nations.
