Madam Speaker, I request that it be passed on division.

What This Vote Is Really About

This vote is about whether to pass a proposed law called Bill S-227. This law would make April Arab Heritage Month across Canada. If the law passes, every April would be a time to celebrate Arab culture and the contributions of Arab people to Canada. This could mean more events, educational programs, and public recognition of Arab heritage. Citizens should care because this law is about recognizing and celebrating the diversity of Canada. It's a way to honor the history, culture, and achievements of Arab Canadians. It also promotes understanding and inclusion.

This decision was made by "passed without counting" — no individual MP votes were counted.
