MPs voted unanimously to pass a bill that I have sponsored in the House of Commons! Bill S-210 would declare September every year as Ukrainian Heritage Month in Canada.
I thank Senator Stan Kutcher for introducing this bill in the Senate, Peter Fonseca MP for seconding this bill with me, and all MPs for supporting it at Second Reading.
This was an important step for the legislation. It will now go to the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage for further consideration with the last step being its return to the House for its third and final reading.
