Mr. Speaker, Claims · 136 wordsJune is Filipino Heritage Month in Canada, a time to recognize and celebrate the rich history, culture and contributions of Filipino Canadians to communities across the country.¹ Since the arrival of the first Filipino immigrants, generations have helped shape Canada’s social, economic, cultural and political landscape through their hard work, resilience and commitment to service. Filipino Heritage Month provides an opportunity to honour the vibrant traditions, languages, arts and values that form an important part of Canada’s multicultural identity. It is also a chance to reflect on the achievements of Filipino Canadians in every field, while acknowledging the challenges many have overcome in building new lives and stronger communities here in Canada. As we celebrate this month, let us recognize the enduring contributions of Filipino Canadians and reaffirm our commitment to inclusion, diversity and mutual understanding.Vague promise Aside · 4 wordsMabuhay, Canada.
