Arya Samaj Markham Canada Dental Care Plan Seminar
Had a heartwarming visit to Arya Samaj Markham / Vedic Cultural Centre, a vibrant hub for seniors in our community! I shared the Canadian Dental Care Plan, which will help 9 million uninsured Canadians access essential dental care—everything from cleanings and fillings to root canals—ensuring healthier smiles without the financial burden. This means seniors won’t have to choose between their dental health and paying their bills.
I also had the chance to highlight the federal government’s work for seniors—from restoring the retirement age to 65, increasing GIS/OAS, providing affordable housing, and funding through programs like New Horizons for Seniors. Vedic is an incredible place in Markham-Thornhill and it’s always a joy to connect with everyone here!

Seniors are the heart of our community, both here in Markham-Thornhill and across Canada.

Eng Suey Sun Association
It was wonderful to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with the Eng Suey Sun Association.
Long before the immigrant settlement services we see today, family associations like the Eng Suey Sun Association played a crucial role in welcoming and supporting new immigrants. When my father first arrived in Toronto, the Eng Suey Sun Association was one of the first places he visited—a space where he found a sense of community and support.
As an Ng “伍”, I feel deeply connected to the legacy of these family associations. The Eng Suey Sun family association, like the Wong, Chan, Lee, Fong, Chin, Mak, Yip, and many others across Canada, is much more than a social network—they embody resilience, unity, and shared values. Their efforts in education, advocacy, and mutual support have helped countless families build their lives and communities here. Thank you for all the important work you continue to do!

Tamil Rights Group Visit
Thank you for welcoming me to the @tamilrightsgroup Reference Library. One moment that truly touched my heart was hearing from the young summer employees who shared the challenges they’ve faced in learning about the Tamil struggle, due to the deep wounds of trauma that often silence these stories.
Through the Canada Summer Jobs program, they found a path to explore this history directly, discovering strength and connection in the process while getting valuable work experience.
Fifteen years ago, the quarter-century-long armed conflict in Sri Lanka came to an end. Tens of thousands of Tamils tragically lost their lives, including at the massacre in Mullivaikal. To this day, many more remain missing, injured, or displaced.
Two years ago, Canada’s Parliament unanimously voted to recognize May 18 as Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day. We will always advocate for justice and accountability for the crimes committed during the conflict, as well as for the hardships faced by all in Sri Lanka.
The invaluable resources preserved in this library serve as a powerful testament to the resilience of the Tamil community and highlight the critical importance of ensuring future generations have the opportunity to embrace and carry forward their heritage. By remembering, we not only honour the past but also reaffirm our commitment to a future built on justice, healing, and accountability.

Had a lively roundtable discussion with Tamil Canadian business leaders and young professionals on the issues that matter to the Tamil Canadian community here in Markham-Thornhill and across Canada.
From working to make life more affordable for the middle-class families here at home to supporting seniors & youth and standing up for human rights abroad, our government is committed to addressing the important issues raised today.

Celebrating youth making a difference in our community
Congratulations to Meilun Yu of our Markham-Thornhill Youth Council and her sister Meihuan Yu for their outstanding work to support newcomers by creating a sense of community through the arts.
This is exactly what Markham-Thornhill is all about. One of the most diverse ridings in Canada, we know diversity is a fact, but inclusivity is a choice.
Thank you both for your outstanding leadership, kindness, and your commitment to making Markham-Thornhill a more inclusive place - for everyone.
Remembering Black July
I joined members of the Tamil Canadian community and the National Council of Canadian Tamils to remember and reflect on the genocide faced by the Tamil community in Sri Lanka 40 years ago. The horrors of the anti-Tamil pogrom of 1983 left a deep wound for Tamil communities across the world, but despite attempts to silence the Tamil fight for accountability, justice and equality, the response was one of strength and activism - a demonstration of Tamil resilience worldwide.
Community BBQ
This year's Markham-Thornhill community BBQ was one for the books!
The weather was fantastic, and it was great to see so many friends and neighbours – new and old – out enjoying the wonderful festivities, performances and food.
Markham-Thornhill is an incredible place to live because of the great people that choose to call it home. Thank you all for coming out today, and for all you do to make our community such a special place!
Discussing the ongoing conflict in Sudan with leaders from St. Mark Coptic Church
Father Kyrillos, Father Ammonius and H.G. Bishop Archilides are leaders in the St. Mark Coptic Church and our community.
Today, I met with them to discuss the important work our government is doing to support the people of Sudan as they face ongoing civil unrest.
We responded swiftly to help Canadians in Sudan, matched donations made to the Humanitarian Coaltion up to $5 million to ensure the Sudanese receive essential lifesaving aid, and continue to call for an end to the violence.
I want to thank both Fathers for taking the time to discuss this most important issue, and thank the Coptic Christian community for their ongoing contributions to Markham-Thornhill and Canada.
No matter who we are, how we dress, or what we believe in, we are all Canadian.
Let’s keep celebrating our diversity, and the many contributions of people from all backgrounds to Markham-Thornhill and Canada.

National AcesssAbility Week
When we remove barriers to accessibility, everybody wins.
That’s why our government is committed to making life better for people living with disabilities here in Markham-Thornhill and across Canada. We have provided thousands in direct funding to support Cherish Integrated Services - an amazing non-profit that supports people living with developmental disabilities in our community - and we’re charting a path to make Canada barrier-free by 2040 through our Accessibility Action Plan.
We believe it's possible for everyone to have a fair shot at life – and we will will keep working to transform this aspiration from a possibility to practice.
On #WorldEnvironmentDay, and every day, our government recognizes that you can’t address the challenges posed by climate change with wishful thinking and bumper sticker slogans. That’s why we’re taking direct action – we have invested over 100$ billion towards climate action and clean growth since and 2015.
While Conservatives play politics with our children’s future, we will keep doing the work to lower our emissions and attract the green jobs of the future to Canada – because that’s what Canadians expect us to do.

100th anniversary of the Chinese Exclusion Act
While today we celebrate a vibrant and dynamic Asian Canadian culture, that wasn’t always the case. 100 years ago, the Chinese Immigration Act (also known as the Chinese Exclusion Act) was enacted and was used to racially profile and discriminate, prevented new Chinese immigrants from entering Canada and also reinforced negative stereotypes and prejudices against the Chinese community.
This was a dark time in Canada's past, but one that is important to acknowledge so that history never repeats itself. Today in Markham, we stood in solidarity against anti-Asian racism as we commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Exclusion Act. It can’t stop here. Today, and every day, we must always call out hate for what it is – to create a better and more inclusive future for generations to come.
Taste of Asia
The Taste of Asia Reception in Ottawa is one I look forward to each year! Thank you to the Federation of Chinese Canadians in Markham - FCCM, the Canadian Federation of Intercultural Friendship (CFIF), the Canadian Hindu Cultural Center (CHCC), the Association of Progressive Muslims of Canada (APMC), Dr. Ken Ng, and so many of my constituents for bringing a taste of home (in many ways) to the capitol!
From the live performances to the incredible food and the great company, everyone in attendance enjoyed the flavour of Asian culture!
Happy Asian Heritage Month!
AHM on the Hill
Asian Heritage Month on the Hill is always a special night – and this year was no different!
Tonight, alongside Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, fellow MPs, local community leaders, and incredible performers, we celebrated the rich culture and many contributions of Asian Canadians - while paying tribute to the past.
From building the Canadian Pacific Railway to historic medical breakthroughs, Asian Canadians have made incredible contributions to the Canada we know today. Here’s to the hardworking Asian Canadians, whose impacts are felt from coast to coast coast. Thank you for all you do, and happy Asian Heritage Month!
Hon. Mary Ng's Statement on the YDCSB's decision to not fly the Pride flag
Extremely disappointed to see this decision out of YDCSB, which undermines the dignity, respect, and support that 2SLGBTQI+ youth deserve. To the students of Markham & York Region, our government will always stand with you and defend the right for you to be your authentic self.
Pride
Happy Pride Month, Canada! For 2SLGBTQ+ communities and their allies, June is a month of great celebration and reflection on the long journey to inclusion, equality and acceptance.
The right to love who you love was not won overnight – and is a battle that we will continue to fight around the world every day. This is why we march: to celebrate how far we have come and to continue the work for a fairer and more inclusive Canada – for everyone.
May 2023
Africa Day
May 25th marks Africa Day and the founding of the African Union! Just last week I sat down with Commissioner Muchanga, to see how Canada and the African Union can advance our trade relationship to benefit our workers and strengthen our economic ties. Today, and every day let's celebrate and appreciate the contributions of African Canadians and people of African descent who make invaluable contributions to Canada each and every day!
Anniversary of the Komagata Maru Incident
Today marks the Anniversary of the Komagata Maru Incident. On May 23 1914, 376 passengers of Sikh, Muslim, Hindu and Punjabi origin aboard the Komagata Maru steamship were denied entry to Canada because of the racist immigration policies in place at that time. As a result of being turned away, many of the passengers were imprisoned or killed upon their return to India.
As we reflect on this tragic incident, we must also recognize the impact hard working Canadians of South Asian descent have made and continue to make in shaping Canada into a place of great prosperity and opportunity.
Our rich diversity makes Canada the place that it is, and we will always celebrate it as one of our greatest strengths.
Vesak
Today is Vesak, one of the most important days in the Buddhist calendar. Also known as Buddha Day, Vesak is a time for self reflection, to express gratitutde and to show respect for Guatama Buddha’s teachings. Wishing all who celebrate a joyous and peaceful Vesak!
Red Dress Day
For far too many Indigenous women and girls, violence is a part of everyday life. That’s why today, on Red Dress Day, we must not only take the time to remember and honour the missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls (MMIWG) from across Canada – we must also take action. The status quo is unacceptable. That’s why through Budget 2023, our government is investing $125 million to implement the National Action Plan for MMIWG. We listened to survivors, and built a plan that is squarely focused on providing support to everyone affected by the ongoing crisis. No one should have to live in fear of violence. That’s why we’ll never stop fighting for a brighter future for Indigenous women and girls, and for all Canadians.

We must never forget the victims of the Armenian genocide. On Armenian Genocide Memorial Day, we reaffirm our commitment to build a world where everyone can feel safe from discrimination and persecution - no matter who they are, where they’re from, or what they believe.
Yom Ha’atzmaut
75 years ago, the state of Israel was established. For Jewish Canadians and the Jewish community around the world, the establishment of Israel meant Jewish people had a right to exist, and a place to call home. Since 1948, Canada and Israel have been close friends and allies, connected by a shared commitment to the values of freedom and democracy. We will keep working with our Israeli counterparts to promote a just and lasting peace in the middle east. Wishing all who are celebrating a Yom Ha’atzmaut Sameach!

Seems the diners in the restaurant were keen to say hello to their PM too!
Visit to St. Mark's Coptic Church with Justin Trudeau
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and I joined members of Markham’s vibrant Coptic Orthodox community to celebrate Orthodox Easter at St. Mark’s Cathedral in Markham. St.Mark’s Cathedral is a pillar in our community providing congregants with a place to practice their faith. It is where the Coptic community comes together for celebrations and in times of need. During the summer, St. Mark’s is a place of learning and opportunity where I see the enthusiasm of students gaining meaningful employment through the Canada Summer Jobs program and so much more. I want to extend my gratitude to St Mark’s Cathedral for inviting us. Happy Orthodox Easter!

Meeting with the Markham Board of Trade's CEO and Board Members
The Markham Board of Trade works hard to support our local business community and today I stopped by to talk about how our government is doing the same through #Budget2023.
Budget 2023 was the result of speaking with Canadians in meetings like these, at coffee shops, and over the phone. As a result, we cut credit card fees, junk fees, and are making life more affordable so they can put their money towards what counts.
Community voices matter, and I will always take the opportunity to listen to them.
Meeting with the Canadian Tamils' Chamber of Commerce
Great to connect with so many members of the Canadian Tamils’ Chamber of Commerce (CTCC) this April.By providing education, networking opportunities and more, the CTCC does so much to empower Tamil entrepreneurs and small business owners within our community.

Taking Action Against Racism
In January, myself and countless Canadians from across the country observed the National Day of Remembrance of the Quebec City Mosque Attack and International Holocaust Remembrance Day. We observed these days to keep the memory of those who lost their lives alive, to stand in solidarity with victims and their families, and to take a stand against racism in all its forms. Combatting racism is the responsibility of all of us, and we must always call out hate for what it is.

Women's History Month
This Women’s History Month, I am reflecting on all the incredible women who paved the way and who’ve contributed so much to our country. Women like Viola Desmond who championed equality, and Dr. Emily Stowe who was the first female physician in Canada and who advocated for a woman's right to vote, and the incredible women entrepreneurs I have met with around the world who are breaking down barriers. These women inspire us to ensure that we are building a future with equal opportunities for generations to come.
Dusshera

I ask that you take some time out of your day today, and every day, to reflect, recognize and remember the history of the residential school system and its impact on Indigenous communities and our collective history.
