Bill

Bill S-214, An Act to establish International Mother Language Day

Vote

Yea.

Rationale

The meaning behind International Mother Language Day is rooted in Canadian multiculturalism, openness, and diversity. It is also an empowerment of our Indigenous languages, and a loud symbol of acceptance, internationally, during a dark time in world history. If this bill passes, it will establish International Mother Language Day – a Day that promotes the preservation and protection of all languages used by peoples of the world – on February 21st.

Passed.
