立法院韓國瑜院長於本（10月15）日下午2時，在「中華民國與加拿大國會議員友好協會」會長陳菁徽委員、民進黨范雲委員、民眾黨許忠信委員等人陪同下，接見由「加台國會議員友好協會」會長史葛洛（Judy Sgro）議員率領的跨黨派議員團一行7人。
At 2 p.m. on October 15, Legislative Yuan President Daniel K.Y. Han (韓國瑜) met with a seven-member cross-party parliamentary delegation led by Member of Parliament Judy Sgro, Chair of the Canada-Taiwan Parliamentary Friendship Group. He was accompanied by KMT Legislator Chen Ching-Hui, President of the R.O.C. (Taiwan)-Canada Inter-Parliamentary Amity Association; DPP Legislator Dr. Fan Yun; TPP Legislator Dr. Hsu Chung-Hsin, among others.
韓院長首先誠摯歡迎史葛洛會長再度率團訪台，並讚譽加拿大是「最美、最友善、最具潛力」的國家。韓院長續向訪團說明，我國立法院共有113席，主要由三個政黨組成，各黨雖立場不同，時有激烈辯論，但每當面對國際友人時，始終展現團結與熱情，彰顯台灣民主的多元與包容。
President Han opened the meeting by extending a warm welcome to Chair Sgro as she once again led a delegation to Taiwan and praised Canada as “the most beautiful and friendliest country with the greatest potential.” He went on to explain to the delegation that Taiwan’s Legislative Yuan has 113 seats, with members primarily representing three political parties. Although the parties hold differing positions and sometimes engage in heated debate, they always demonstrate unity and warmth when welcoming international friends, reflecting the diversity and inclusiveness of Taiwan’s democracy.
韓院長藉此機會特別感謝史葛洛會長六度訪台，並長期在加國國會為台灣發聲。台加長期在各領域保持密切合作與交流。在經貿交流方面，台灣晶圓代工技術領先全球，中小企業亦極具競爭力，我半導體產業目前在美國、德國、日本、法國等地皆有成功的投資案例，數月前亦曾赴美國亞利桑那州考察台積電（TSMC）投資情形，並以該公司投資成果為例，盼加國政府營造有利台灣業者赴加投資的環境。同時，台灣具備先進AI技術，亦歡迎加國業者來台投資，共同深化經貿合作，帶動產業發展。教育交流層面，加拿大是台灣學生第四大留學目的地，反映台灣民眾對加拿大的好感，也顯示台加友好情誼深植民間。院長最後盼兩國國會持續深化交流，並祝福訪團此行成果豐碩。
President Han took the opportunity to offer special thanks to Chair Sgro for her six visits to Taiwan and for her long-standing advocacy for Taiwan in the Canadian Parliament. He said that Taiwan and Canada have long maintained close cooperation and exchanges across a wide range of fields. On economic and trade exchanges, President Han noted that Taiwan possesses world-leading semiconductor foundry technology and highly competitive small and medium-sized enterprises. In addition, he cited Taiwan’s successful semiconductor investments in the United States, Germany, Japan, France, and other countries, noting that several months earlier he had visited Arizona to inspect TSMC’s progress there. Citing the results of those investments, he expressed hope that the Canadian government would create an environment conducive to investment by Taiwanese businesses. He also noted that Taiwan has advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and welcomes Canadian businesses to invest in Taiwan, thereby further strengthening economic and trade cooperation and driving industrial development. Turning to educational exchanges, President Han stated that Canada is the fourth most popular destination for Taiwanese students studying abroad, reflecting the Taiwanese public’s positive regard for Canada and demonstrating that the friendship between both nations is deeply rooted in their societies. In closing, President Han expressed hope that the two countries’ parliaments would continue to deepen exchanges and wished the delegation a fruitful visit.
史葛洛會長感謝院長撥冗接見，並表示，每次率團訪台，都能讓更多加拿大國會議員認識台灣的自由民主。她也觀察到，台灣的民主得來不易，是經過持續的「傾聽、妥協、凝聚共識及尊重」逐步建立而成，這也是各國國會議員應具備的精神。她進一步表示，台灣社會的多元性及公民參與經驗，皆值得借鏡。在全球民主制度面臨壓力與威脅之際，期盼台加在各領域加強合作，透過國會交流讓雙邊關係更加緊密。
Chair Sgro thanked President Han for taking the time to meet with the delegation and said that each delegation she has led to Taiwan has enabled more Canadian parliamentarians to learn about Taiwan’s freedom and democracy. She also observed that Taiwan’s democracy had been hard won, having been built gradually through sustained “listening, compromise, consensus building, and respect.” These, she said, are values that parliamentarians in every country should uphold. She further noted that Taiwan’s social diversity and experience with civic participation offer valuable lessons. At a time when democratic systems around the world face pressure and threats, she expressed hope that Taiwan and Canada would strengthen cooperation across all fields and forge closer bilateral ties through parliamentary exchanges.
陳菁徽委員表示，她以「中華民國與加拿大國會議員友好協會」會長身分誠摯歡迎訪團一行。她身為婦產科醫師，並擔任立法院「社會福利及衛生環境委員會」本（第6）會期召集委員，長期關注少子化、公衛醫療、女性平權、勞工權益、毒品防制、外籍移工等議題，盼針對台灣當前面臨的挑戰，借鏡加國經驗，並相互分享政策與實務作法。
In her capacity as President of the R.O.C. (Taiwan)-Canada Inter-Parliamentary Amity Association, Legislator Chen extended a warm welcome to the delegation. She noted that she was an obstetrician and gynecologist and served as Convener of the Legislative Yuan’s Social Welfare and Environmental Hygiene Committee for the current (sixth) legislative session. She said she had long focused on issues including the declining birth rate, public health and healthcare, gender equality, labor rights, drug prevention, and migrant workers. She expressed hope that Taiwan could draw on Canada’s experience in addressing its current challenges and that both sides could share policy measures and practical approaches.
范雲委員指出，她的家鄉淡水與加拿大具有深厚的歷史淵源，馬偕（George Leslie Mackay）醫師對台灣的教育、醫療及女性權益貢獻良多。她長期參與婦女運動，致力推動女性參政及多元性別族群的婚姻平權。而加拿大以多元文化著稱，她期盼借鏡加國經驗，在教育中落實多元文化理念。她也提到，多位訪賓關注跨境鎮壓議題，期盼未來有更多機會就該議題深入交流。
Legislator Fan pointed out that Tamsui, her hometown, has deep historical ties with Canada. Dr. George Leslie Mackay, she said, made significant contributions to education, healthcare, and women’s rights in Taiwan. She noted that she had long been involved in the women’s movement and worked to promote women’s political participation and marriage equality for LGBTQ+ communities. Canada, she mentioned, is known for its multiculturalism. She expressed hope that Taiwan could draw on Canada’s experience to put the principles of multiculturalism into practice in education. She also noted that several members of the delegation were concerned about transnational repression and expressed hope for more opportunities to discuss the issue in depth in the future.
許忠信委員分享，他赴英國劍橋大學攻讀法學博士學位期間，觀察到英國法院經常援引加拿大判決，因而對加國國情有深入認識。此外，他指出台灣位居連接東亞海上航道與太平洋的戰略要衝，因此非常感謝加國國會長期支持台灣，並盼雙方共同守護區域和平。
Legislator Hsu stated that, while pursuing a doctorate in law at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, he had observed that British courts frequently cited Canadian judgments, which had helped him develop a deeper understanding of Canada. He also noted that Taiwan occupies a strategic position linking East Asian sea lanes with the Pacific Ocean. He therefore expressed particular gratitude to the Canadian Parliament for its long-standing support for Taiwan and hoped that both sides would work together to safeguard regional peace.
雙方嗣就住宅成家、毒品防制、飲食文化、生物科技等議題廣泛交流。本次會面氣氛友好愉快，歷約1小時，在互贈紀念品及合影後圓滿落幕。（2026/10/15）
Subsequently, the two sides held extensive discussions on topics including housing and family formation, drug prevention, culinary culture, and biotechnology. The meeting, which lasted approximately one hour, took place in a warm and friendly atmosphere, and concluded with an exchange of commemorative gifts and a group photo. (2026/10/15)
