OTTAWA – Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff made the following statement on the celebration of Canada Day:
“On Canada Day, Canadians will be firing up their barbecues, taking the family to the beach or the park, and meeting friends in backyards. There is a spirit of good neighbourliness on Canada Day that shows us at our best.
“Canada Day is also when many new Canadians swear allegiance to their new country and become citizens.
“From the pride and excitement that I’ve seen on their faces, they know they have joined a great country: free, equal, democratic and compassionate. Let’s work together to make this great country even better.
“On behalf of the Liberal Party of Canada and our Parliamentary Caucus, let me wish everyone a joyous Canada Day.”
