I am pleased to join my colleague, the Honourable Andy Mitchell Andy Mitchell may refer to:

, in bringing greetings from the Government of Canada The Government of Canada is the federal government of Canada. The powers and structure of the federal government are set out in the Constitution of Canada.

In modern Canadian use, the term "government" (or "federal government") refers broadly to the cabinet of the day and

Northern Ontario has a land area of 802,000 km² (310,000 mi²) and constitutes 87% of the land area of Ontario, although it

The role of Industry Canada Industry Canada is the department of the Government of Canada with responsibility for regional economic development, investment, and innovation/research and development. The department employs 6104 FTEs across Canada.  is to build a world-leading economy driven by innovation, ideas and talent, and to build a more inclusive, knowledge-based society for all Canadians. We call it "the innovation agenda." As Minister of Industry, I have two priorities: to stimulate and nurture a culture of innovation across this country; and to brand Canada internationally as a great place to live, work and invest.

Canada began its first century by building a railroad to conquer its vast distances. Canada is beginning the 21st century by leading in information and communications technologies that will help citizens overcome that same barrier of distance. This is particularly important for regions such as Northern Ontario, where communities -- and their residents -- are isolated by geography. Moving from bands of steel to high-speed broadband Internet See broadband. , Canada is beginning to use these enabling technologies to drive innovation, expanding access to new health and community services, learning and information, and business opportunities. Our ultimate goal is to make Canada the most connected nation in the world.

Rural and northern communities are vital to the social, cultural and economic fibre of Canada. In addition to its contributions to the economy of our great nation through mining, forestry, agriculture, manufacturing and tourism industries, Northern Ontario is justifiably proud of its Francophone and Aboriginal heritage, and the diversity and uniqueness that it engenders. Linking the communities and people of Northern Ontario will create synergies and allow for the sharing of ideas and solutions to the challenges we face.

I look forward to meeting with many of you during my travels throughout Northern Ontario to discuss this vision of a smart country -- an innovative and more integrated Canada for the future. Together, we will make this vision a reality.

Les communautes des regions rurales et du Nord sont essentielles aux fondements economiques, sociaux et culturels du Canada. Le Nord de l'Ontario est non seulement fier de ses contributions a l'economie de notre grande nation par l'entremise des industries miniere, forestiere, agricole, manufacturiere et touristique, mais egalement, et ce avec raison, de ses patrimonies francophone et autochtone, et de la diversite et de l'unicite que ces derniers engendrent. En etablissant un lien entre les communautes et les residants du Nord de l'Ontario, nous creetons des synergies et nous permettrons aux Nord-Ontariens d'echanger leurs idees et leurs solutions a propos des defis qu'ils affrontent.

J'aurai l'occasion de rencontrer un bon nombre d'entre vous au cours de mes deplacements dans le Nord de l'Ontario et de discuter de notre vision concemant l'etablissement d'une nation ingenieuse, a savoir un Canada novateur et d'avantage integre a l'avenir. Ensemble, nous ferons de cette vision une realite.

Le ministre de l'Industrie
