THE HONOURABLE YONAH MARTIN S e n a t e N e w s l e t t e r J u n e 1 s t , 2 0 1 9 http://yonahmartin.sencanada.ca/ Senate of Canada ASIAN HERITAGE HOLD HIGH THE BULGARIA DAY MONTH TORCH LUNCHEON ON THE HILL SENATOR'S MESSAGE Sincere greetings from Ottawa! Salutations d’Ottawa! 오타와에서 인사드립니다! Throughout the month of May, there were events celebrating the accomplishments of Asian Canadians throughout Canadian history, as well as special events that brought people together to share stories, discuss relevant topics, network and be inspired. It was also a time to reflect on the pioneering Asian Canadians across our country who paved the way for others to pursue their dreams and reach their potential. Congratulations to my dedicated staff Grace Seear, Kristin Doyle and Grace Lee for becoming honorary members of KVA Unit 7 in the presence of our beloved veterans. It was also an honour for me to be named an Honorary ROTCian at the 2019 ROTC North America Conference in Calgary, AB. In the Senate of Canada, we had a very busy legislative schedule in May, and anticipate longer sittings in June as the end of this current Parliament comes to a close and we rise for the summer and the fall election that awaits us all. As always, my staff and I thank you for your continued support and look forward to serving you to the best of our abilities. - Senator Yonah Martin ASIAN HERITAGE MONTH Ottawa, ON On May 10th, Senator Martin co-hosted the Voices in Action Breakfast with the Ottawa Asian Heritage Month Society and the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board.

Hanvoice Impact Report Web
Impact Report 2020 We’re building a network of advocates to outlast the human rights crisis in North Korea. 2 © Teun Janssen, 2017 © HanVoice Chris Kim, HanVoice Executive Director speaking at a HanVoice event in Toronto in July 2018. Message from Leadership North Korea has one of the most distressing human rights crises of our generation. You need only look at satellite imagery of the Korean peninsula to see the extinguishing effect of a brutal dictatorship, three generations in the making. In North Korea, 25 million lives exist under a regime that unreservedly perpetrates crimes against humanity. 25 million lives continue to be denied the most fundamental rights of free expression, free mobility, and free religion. 25 million lives remain subservient to an oppressive leadership that prioritizes its own survival above all else. In the complex arena of international relations, most global powers are left little choice but to focus on security issues. This is why we believe Canada has the opportunity to lead on a human-centric approach and focus on the North Korean people through human rights advocacy. Our view is ultimately driven by the tangible action taken by everyday Canadians over our thirteen year history. Indeed, thanks to the courage and concern of Canadians from coast to coast, today our political parties are undivided in their recognition of and concern for the North Korean human rights crisis. With the ongoing crisis and no signs of slowdown, there is clearly more that can and must be done for the North Korean people. Central to our mission is the belief that Canada and Canadians can and should emerge as leading advocates on this issue and ensure that the voices of North Korean people are rightfully heard.
