Government of Canada celebrates the Vietnamese Heritage and Freedom Flag

April 15, 2008

Jason Kenney, Secretary of State for Multiculturalism and Canadian Identity, celebrates the Vietnamese Heritage and Freedom Flag as the symbol of the Vietnamese community in Canada.

"Our government recognises the flag as an important symbol of the Vietnamese-Canadian community's independence, strength, and belief in national unity", said Jason Kenney, "and attempts to disparage it are a deeply troubling attack on one of Canada's ethnic communities and on the principles of multiculturalism."
