To all the grandmothers, mothers, sisters, aunts, friends and colleagues who inspire us, challenge us, and support us - THANK YOU.

To my feminist father who raised me to believe, without exception, that I could do anything a boy could do - THANK YOU.

To the trailblazing women who paved the way so that I can stand for elected office and serve as the first Canadian-Chinese Female MP for Markham-Thornhill - THANK YOU.

And to our Feminist Prime Minister who leads to ensure gender diversity, equality, and inclusion is embedded in our work and decision-making as a government and a country - THANK YOU!
