立法院江啟臣副院長於本（1）月15日下午，在國民黨陳永康委員陪同下，接見「加拿大聯邦眾議員」一行5人。
On the afternoon of January 15, Vice President Dr. Johnny C. Chiang (江啟臣) of the Legislative Yuan met with a five-member delegation of Canadian Members of Parliament, accompanied by KMT Legislator Adm. Chen Yeong-Kang.
江副院長首先代表立法院及韓國瑜院長，誠摯歡迎加拿大國會於新年伊始訪台，並感謝近年來加國不同訪團持續來台交流，展現對台灣的堅定支持。江副院長表示，欣聞部分團員將於訪團行程結束後，前往台中旅遊；台中市人口近300萬，為中台灣主要城市，兼具美食與人文風貌，期盼未來能有機會邀請訪團前往台中參訪、交流。
Vice President Chiang, on behalf of the Legislative Yuan and its President Daniel K.Y. Han (韓國瑜), extended a warm welcome to the visiting delegation from the Parliament of Canada at the start of the new year. He also thanked Canadian delegations for their continued visits to Taiwan in recent years, noting that these exchanges reflect Canada’s steadfast support for Taiwan. Vice President Chiang expressed pleasure in learning that some members of the delegation would travel to Taichung following the conclusion of their official itinerary. With a population of nearly three million, Taichung is a major city in central Taiwan known for its cuisine and cultural heritage. He expressed hope to have the opportunity in the future to host the delegation in Taichung for further exchanges.
江副院長繼謂，過去擔任教授、從事學術工作十餘年間，曾多次造訪多倫多與溫哥華，並得知團長蘭絲蔓（Melissa Lantsman）眾議員來自多倫多、為藍鳥隊球迷，台灣與加拿大同為本（2026）年第6屆WBC世界棒球經典賽參賽國，屆時將於東京同場競技，預祝雙方皆能在賽事中取得佳績。
Vice President Chiang further remarked that over his more than ten years in academia, he visited Toronto and Vancouver on multiple occasions. Noting that MP Melissa Lantsman, head of the delegation, is from Toronto and a fan of the Toronto Blue Jays, he added that Taiwan and Canada are both set to participate in the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC). He wished both sides every success in the tournament.
江副院長最後表示，期盼訪團透過此次台灣行能更加深入認識台灣，他強調，台灣不僅是AI及半導體製造的重要樞紐，也積極走向國際舞台。江副院長指出，加拿大為台灣人民最喜愛的國家之一，面對美國對等關稅措施及日益複雜的國際政經情勢，台加兩國更應持續拓展多元合作，尤其台灣已於2022年9月提出申請加入「跨太平洋夥伴全面進步協定」（CPTPP），期盼加拿大能以會員國身分發揮影響力，以具體行動支持台灣加入，進一步促進雙邊及區域貿易往來、深化合作，創造雙贏。
In his concluding remarks, Vice President Chiang expressed hope that this visit would further enhance the delegation’s understanding of Taiwan. He emphasized that Taiwan is not only a key hub for artificial intelligence and semiconductor manufacturing, but is also actively engaging with the international community. He noted that Canada is one of the countries most favored by the people of Taiwan. Vice President Chiang stated that Taiwan and Canada should continue to expand diverse cooperation in light of reciprocal tariff measures imposed by the United States and an increasingly complex international political and economic landscape. He particularly pointed out that Taiwan submitted its application to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) in September 2022, and expressed hope that Canada, as a member state, would support Taiwan’s accession, thereby helping to advance bilateral and regional trade and further deepen mutually beneficial cooperation.
蘭絲蔓眾議員致詞時表示，此行為其第二次訪台，十分感謝台灣及立法院的熱情接待，並稱未來將會再度率團來訪。她強調，加拿大高度珍視與台灣的關係，認為台灣是值得信賴且不可或缺的夥伴，並深信台灣具備能力，可為國際社會做出重要貢獻；此外，台灣擁有強韌的經濟體系、完善的民主制度與自由開放的社會，期待未來能與台灣進一步強化在安全、國防、AI、網路安全等領域的交流與合作。
In her remarks, MP Lantsman stated that this was her second visit to Taiwan and expressed appreciation for the warm hospitality extended by Taiwan and the Legislative Yuan. She added that she would lead another delegation to Taiwan in the future. Emphasizing that Canada highly values its relationship with Taiwan, she described Taiwan as a reliable and indispensable partner and expressed confidence in Taiwan’s ability to make meaningful contributions to the international community. She further highlighted Taiwan’s resilient economy, well-established democratic system, and open society, and expressed hope for strengthened exchanges and cooperation in areas including security, national defense, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity.
蘭絲蔓眾議員表示，面對複雜多變的國際局勢，希望向台灣人民清楚表達，加拿大國會中有許多友台人士，支持台灣參與世界民航組織（ICAO）等國際組織，回國後將持續支持台灣的國際參與並深化雙邊合作關係。
MP Lantsman also noted that, amid a complex and evolving international environment, she wished to convey clearly to the people of Taiwan that many members of the Canadian Parliament support Taiwan’s participation in international organizations, including the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). She added that upon returning to Canada, she would continue to advocate for Taiwan’s international participation and for the further development of bilateral relations.
在雙邊交流中，陳永康委員表示，面對外部威脅，國防能力的提升不僅取決於裝備採購，更需同步強化人員訓練、跨系統協調能力、社會韌性及能源安全等面向，方能全面提升台灣整體防衛效能；台灣國防預算正穩步成長，期盼台加兩國攜手培育更多優秀年輕人才，持續深化國防與安全領域的交流。
During the bilateral exchanges, Legislator Chen noted that in the face of external threats, strengthening national defense capabilities requires not only the procurement of equipment, but also enhanced personnel training, improved cross-system coordination, greater societal resilience, and strengthened energy security. He added that Taiwan’s national defense budget continues to grow steadily, and expressed hope that Taiwan and Canada can work together to cultivate outstanding young talent and further deepen exchanges in national defense and security cooperation.
會中，雙方另就教育合作、少子化、移民安全及台加選舉制度等議題廣泛交換意見。此次會晤歷時約60分鐘，過程氣氛融洽熱絡，於致贈紀念品並合影留念後圓滿結束。（2026/1/15）
The two sides also exchanged views on issues including educational cooperation, demographic challenges, immigration security, and the electoral systems of Taiwan and Canada. Conducted in a warm and lively atmosphere, the meeting lasted approximately 60 minutes and concluded following the exchange of commemorative gifts and group photos. (2026/1/15)
