Madam Speaker, I have here a petition from the Seniors of the West Island and Suburbs. It is a Filipino association, commonly known as SWIS, run by Mr. Roger Ajero. It provides all kinds of senior activities, line dancing, bingo, excursions, and they are not just for Filipino seniors. They also invite all kinds of people. My good friend, Benny Bote, is always there with a smile to welcome them. They prepared this petition asking for the Government of Canada to recognize the month of June as Filipino heritage month. I am very proud to present this petition to the House on their behalf.
In the House of Commons on June 11th, 2018. See this statement in context.
