 This week, we held a summit with the Caricom, the community of the Caribbean, here in Ottawa. We took the opportunity to launch the new strategic partnership between Canada and the community of the Caribbean. It is a step that will make our ties even stronger and will help us work on our common priorities. It was a great honour for us to host the first ever in Canada Caracom-Canada Summit. It's always better to see each other face to face, especially when we have so many important issues to tackle, like creating good jobs, making life more affordable, growing the middle class, fighting climate change, and keeping people safe. I want to thank all the leaders who visited us this week. Thank you for being true partners. Thank you for your engagement. And thank you for being such strong voices for your region and your hemisphere. We're holding this summit this week at a time of great turbulence. The conflict in the Middle East is reverberating around the world. Russia's war in Ukraine continues to rage on. Conditions in Haiti remain heartbreaking. Our citizens are living the devastating realities of climate crisis, whether that's wildfires in Canada or hurricanes and rising sea levels across the Caribbean. We're facing supply chain issues, global inflation, food insecurity. So in times like these, it is so important that we strengthen our relationship with friends and like-minded partners. Canada and the members of the Caricom are countries with diverse communities. We believe in democracy and the sovereignty of the law. We know that by working together, we can find solutions that lead to security and prosperity. This week was an opportunity to cooperate and discuss regional and global challenges, including and especially Haiti, but also Venezuela and the Middle East. The ties between Canadian and Caribbean communities, businesses and people run deep, and we're making these ties even stronger. Yesterday we focused on many priorities. Not only did we talk about fighting climate change, but we also talked about how protecting the environment is good for our economies. I announced a new commitment of up to $58.5 million in partnership with the Caribbean Development Bank to support renewable energy projects in the region and $6 million through the Caribbean Climate Smart Fund for resilient and renewable energy systems. Clean, reliable, affordable energy is a great example of how climate action and economic growth can and must go together. Yesterday, we also discussed ways to increase the resilience of our countries in the face of natural disasters that are stronger and more frequent because of climate change. We announced that we will strengthen the coordination between the Canadian Armed Forces and the emergency management agency in the Caribbean to be able to react more quickly in the face of natural disasters. In addition to climate action, we looked at the ways Canada can continue to help reforming the international financing architecture so that developing and middle-income countries can access the financing they need. We also announced that Canada is expanding the Commonwealth Caribbean Countries Tariff Program, which gives countries in the region duty-free access to the Canadian market. And we talked about how our commitment – we talked about our commitment to implement a new foreign labor program for agriculture and fish processing under our temporary foreign workers program. Obviously, in several of our meetings, we also focused on the issue of security in the region, including Haiti. Yesterday, I announced new measures to help the Haitians fight against violence and corruption. Since 2022, Canada has invested more than $300 million in international aid to respond to the crisis in Haiti. We have also sanctioned 28 people and provided technical and tactical aid to the Haitian National Police. We will continue to be there to support the Haitian people. Canada and Caracom will continue to work together as partners to build a more stable, secure and prosperous hemisphere. Thank you. I'm happy to pass it over to President Ali of Guyana. It was such a pleasure to see you and all of our colleagues here at Caracom this week. But lots more to do, lots of positive momentum, and I look forward to it, not just in Trinidad and in Guyana, but right across the Caribbean.
