[Member spoke in Filipino] [English] Madam Speaker, I say happy Filipino Heritage Month. June is Filipino Heritage Month, a time when Canadians celebrate with their Filipino friends and neighbours. Over the years, Filipino Canadians have contributed to our economy and cultural diversity in many ways, not least of which by establishing dozens of Jollibee restaurants across the country, including the one on Quance Street in Regina, just down the street from my constituency office. This month, Filipino Canadians will be celebrating by raising their flag and singing their national anthem, known as Lupang Hinirang, which means “chosen land”. To the nearly one million Canadians of Filipino heritage, we are glad they have chosen this land to call home.
