Statement in the House of Commons on Lunar New Year
On February 13, 2018, Alice Wong made a statement in the House of Commons on the topic of Lunar New Year.
The following is a transcript:
Hon. Alice Wong (Richmond Centre, CPC):
Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure and honour that I extend greetings to my House colleagues and Canadians from coast to coast to coast on the occasion of the lunar new year at the end of this week. It is the tradition of Canadians with Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese heritage to celebrate this wondrous occasion, and I invite all Canadians to celebrate together.
This lunar new year is the year of the dog, an animal that is renowned for its loyalty, honesty, and justness, qualities that I strive to achieve every day in representing the people of Richmond Centre. I encourage all members of the House to reflect upon those very important traits of the dog in the service of their communities and their constituents in the year ahead.
On behalf of my beautiful riding of Richmond Centre, I wish each and every Canadian a happy lunar new year.
Gong Hey Fat Choy.
