[Yvan Baker, MP 🇨🇦🇺🇦 @Yvan_Baker]

🇨🇦🇸🇴 Today, I introduced a private member’s bill that would declare July of every year in Canada as Somali Heritage Month!

I’d like to thank MP @HonAhmedHussen for co-sponsoring this bill with me and for his counsel.

I hope that all MPs will support this legislation.

Canada is home to many Canadians of Somali heritage.

Canadians of Somali descent have left and continue to leave a historic mark on Canada, with contributions that span communities across the country and are reflected in Canada’s economic, political, social and cultural life.

If passed, Somali heritage month would give us an opportunity to celebrate that heritage, the role that Canada has played in supporting Somali Canadians and their contributions to Canada.
