My Concern about the Foreign Interference Inquiry

To whom it may concern,

My name is Cynthia Shi, and I have been living in Canada for over 21 years. Multiculturalism is what motivated me to immigrate to Canada, and I treat Canada as MY country.

From my perspective, the purpose of the multiculturalism is to make Canada a beautiful garden, in which different plants and flowers flourish here.

I totally understand the concern of the “Foreign Interference”. We want Canada to manage the country independently, and we do not want any foreign force to interfere with the Canada business.

However, I want the policy to be none-partial, not pointing to any specific country and any ethnic group of people. Anti-racism and anti-discrimination are other factors that attracted me to Canada. As a taxpayer of over 20 years, I have been contributing to this country, and I am willing to continue to do so.

As a Registered Social Worker, I value social justice. What I want to see is Canada to be a fair play country with people coming from all over the world to have opportunities for their personal growth and to have opportunities to voice out their concerns without worrying about being judgmental.

Let’s work together to make Canada an independent country that is free from any foreign interference and a country that attract all the talents from the world!

Feel free to contact me if you have any concern.

Best regards,
Cynthia Shi
