ICCC discusses multiculturalism and<br />

trade with House panel<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Canadian</strong> <strong>Parvasi</strong><br />

TORONTO: Indo-Canada Chamber<br />

of Commerce president Kanwar<br />

Dhanjal made a presentation on<br />

Multiculturalism and International<br />

Trade to the House of Commons’<br />

International Trade Committee in<br />

Ottawa last week.<br />

Dhanjal was accompanied by<br />

ICCC director Sanjay Brahmbhatt.<br />

<strong>The</strong> International Trade Committee<br />

is consulting various bilateral<br />

chambers of commerce to<br />

understand the impact of multiculturalism<br />

on trade: - Impact of diaspora<br />

communities on trade and<br />

economic growth in Canada<br />

- <strong>The</strong> economic benefits of diversity<br />

and inclusion in trade<br />

- How <strong>Canadian</strong>s successfully<br />

trade with their countries of origin<br />

- How diaspora drives exports<br />

In his presentation, the ICCC<br />

president highlighted the role of<br />

the chamber in engaging the Indo-<br />

<strong>Canadian</strong> diaspora in promoting<br />

bilateral trade relations between<br />

Canada and India.<br />

Dhanjal narrated the efforts of<br />

the ICCC over the last four decades<br />

in promoting bilateral trade, and<br />

in particular, stressed the positive<br />

outcomes from its annual India<br />

Mission which provides an opportunity<br />

for <strong>Canadian</strong> small businesses<br />

to forge links with Indian<br />

small businesses.<br />

He said many <strong>Canadian</strong> suburban<br />

cities are now participating<br />

in the India Mission to establish<br />

direct connections with India. <strong>The</strong><br />

India Mission is a multi-sector,<br />

multi city trade mission to India<br />

organized every January, which<br />

one of the initiative to boost the<br />

trade between two countries.<br />

Councillor Gurpreet Dhillon to<br />

contest for regional council<br />

BRAMPTON: Brampton<br />

City Councillor Gurpreet<br />

Dhillon has officially announced<br />

his candidacy for Regional<br />

Councillor for Wards 9<br />

& 10. Making this announcement<br />

at Jot Prakash Gurdwara<br />

on Sun Pac Blvd earlier<br />

this week, Dhillon said he delivered<br />

what he promised as<br />

a city councillor. He cited his<br />

<strong>20</strong>16 motion to increase employment<br />

lands and the city’s<br />

jobs numbers by up to 25,000<br />

as one his achieved campaign<br />

promises.<br />

Dhillon said he was also a<br />

member of Blue Ribbon Panel<br />

that helped bring the new university<br />

to the city. “In <strong>20</strong>14 I<br />

promised the voters of my<br />

wards that I would champion<br />

change at city hall. Residents<br />

of Brampton had spoken loud<br />

and clear about the need for<br />

new leadership, increasing<br />

job opportunities, and to attract<br />

a university to our city,"<br />

he said, in a press release<br />

"Results matter. Together<br />

we have achieved a great deal<br />

in implementing change,<br />

though there is much more to<br />

be done to ensure that Brampton,<br />

and the issues that affect<br />

our residents most, are addressed<br />

at the regional level<br />

as well.”<br />

John Sprovieri, the current<br />

sitting Regional Councillor<br />

who was also present on<br />

the occasion, said he would<br />

be stepping down and support<br />

Councillor Dhillon’s bid.<br />

Others who spoke included<br />

Brampton Mayor Linda<br />

Jeffrey, MP Raj Grewal, MP<br />

Ruby Sahota, Toronto School<br />

Trustee Avtar Minhas and<br />

Brampton-Centre NDP Candidate<br />

Sara Singh on behalf<br />

of NDP Leader Jagmeet<br />

Singh, while MP Bob Saroya,<br />

MP Sonia Sidhu, MP Ramesh<br />

Sangha, MP Kamal Khera,<br />

City Councillor Pat Fortini,<br />

Regional Councillor Martin<br />

Medeiros, and Peel School<br />

Trustee Harkirat Singh also<br />

attended. Numerous provincial<br />

nominees and candidates<br />

were also in attendance. “<strong>The</strong><br />

tremendous support from<br />

all three parties, and all levels<br />

of government who gave<br />

their support today shows<br />

the unity we have achieved,<br />

and I will continue to work<br />

with them to ensure<br />

we build a<br />

more prosperous<br />

Brampton.”<br />
