Michael Ma

Liberal
“I am presenting a petition signed by over 2,400 Canadians. We want the government to make February Canadian Chinese heritage month to honor the contributions Chinese Canadians have made for over 230 years.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I rise today, with the member of Parliament from Port Moody—Coquitlam, to present an e-petition on behalf of over 2,400 Canadians seeking to designate February as Canadian Chinese heritage month. I stand, with national support from coast to coast, with many organizations and cities across the country joining our movement. The contributions of Chinese Canadians over the past 230 years deserve recognition. Our government’s message this year has been about building Canada strong. Chinese Canadians have been doing so since before Confederation.
