Sure.
My name is Chef Vikram Vij. I am from Vancouver. I was quite honoured to be appointed as an independent member.
We worked extremely hard and went through all the applications by the Privy Council. I was very well notified about everything that took place, what I needed to study, and what I needed to educate myself on. It was a bipartisan-style process. To choose a senator from this province was a great honour bestowed upon me. I'm humbled and honoured by the process. Hopefully, the choices that we have made were and are quite focused and thorough.
That's all I have to say.
