Today in Little Portugal, I met with Portugal's 🇵🇹 Foreign Affairs Minister, Gomes João Cravinho along with our Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly 🇨🇦 and my MP colleagues to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the first significant wave of Portuguese immigrants to Canada.
Canada and Portugal have a strong history as partners and Canada benefits from a flourishing Portuguese community that contributes so much to our country and to our community in Etobicoke Centre.
I look forward to the continued friendship and strong ties between Portugal and Canada.
