I will forever be grateful for your trust in my work to have Canada recognize the Srebrenica Genocide. In 2010, my motion in the House of Commons passed with unanimous consent, declaring July 11 as Srebrenica Remembrance Day in memorial of the Srebrenica Massacre of July 1995.

After having travelled to Srebrenica in 2011 and meeting with the mothers of Srebrenica, local leaders, and many others in the community, I remain committed to ensuring the sacrifices of those lost in this genocide will not be forgotten. To the people of Srebrenica, and the thousands living in Canada today, we honour your sacrifices, remember your victims, and will continue working to ensure that such an event never again takes place.
