Wrzesnewskyj appointed Liberal Opposition Critic

On November 14, Liberal Opposition Leader Stphane Dion named M.P. Borys Wrzesnewskyj to the position of Critic for Citizenship, Immigration; and Multiculturalism in the Liberal shadow cabinet.

 “Canada is a country blessed with natural resources, however, it is our human resources that are our nation’s greatest asset. It is our ever changing multicultural mosaic which will provide Canada with our global competitiveness and dynamism in the 21st Century,” said Wrzesnewskyj.

“I am truly honoured that the leader has given me this tremendous responsibility of serving as the Critic for Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism. I will work diligently on behalf of, and defend, the rights of those new Canadians who have come here from all over the globe wanting to become productive and fully participating members of the best country in the world, Canada,” continued Wrzesnewskyj.

Wrzesnewskyj went on to say that he believes that both his extensive committee work, and more importantly, the immigration work that he has done on behalf of his constituents in Etobicoke Centre, have prepared him well for his new responsibilities.

“As a child of refugee parents and grandparents who came to Canada in search of a new life and a bright future, and to whom Canada gave those opportunities, I understand fully the hopes and dreams that citizens from every nation and every possible background hope to find in Canada. I will work with the government when I believe that they are acting in the best interests of Canada and these new citizens, and I will challenge them when they are not,” stated Wrzesnewskyj.
