Lunar New Year January 29th, 2024
Madam Speaker, I wish a happy new year to you and to everyone in the House.
Over the past holiday season, our diverse communities in Don Valley North and across Canada have come together to celebrate a range of festivities, including Hanukkah, Shabe Yalda, Christmas and the new year.
Building on the spirit of celebration and diversity, I would like to remind the House of the motion passed in 2016 that recognized the lunar new year in order to highlight our vibrant Asian communities and the invaluable contributions Asian Canadians are making to our society. The auspicious dragon symbolizes strength and prosperity. This year the dragon heightens fortune for those born in the years of the rat, tiger, horse and rooster.
I want to wish everyone a happy, healthy, and prosperous lunar new year. Gong xi fa cai. San nin fai lok. Saehae bok mani badeuseyo. Chúc mung năm moi.

“The journey from Artsakh to Armenia normally takes under two hours and now took 30 to 50 hours.
“I've witnessed families arriving with everything they could take from their homes strapped onto the roofs of their cars, the insides stuffed with eight to 10 people.
“My wife and I are currently hosting a family of 15 who escaped from Artsakh. They are my dear friend's family; he has been missing since an explosion at a crowded gas station near Stepanakert, Artsakh's capital, left scores of people dead and injured.
“My people are enduring a brutal ethnic cleansing, and in this era of technical advancements, this atrocity is unfolding in real time on people's smart phones and computers, yet”—
