After reaffirming her oath for citizenship with these 100 new citizens, Sahota also spoke with these new Canadians who were from 29 different countries around the world, and different backgrounds and of all ages.

“This past year - 2017 - we marked the 150th anniversary of Canadian Confederation and we celebrated a nation that embraces equality and respect for all, because this is where diversity is regarded as a strength. As you take the oath and become Canadian citizens today, I have no doubt that you will contribute to Canada in your own way, continuing the great legacy of those who came before you,”  Sahota was reported to state while addressing new citizens.
