    The Prime Minister of Canada Congratulates ANCC for Opening of its National
    Office

    Ottawa - The Right Honourable Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada, has
    sent a congratulatory certificate to the Armenian National Committee of
    Canada (ANCC) on the occasion of the opening of its national office in
    Ottawa.

    The inscription on the Prime Minister's certificate reads:

    `May 2006

    This certificate is presented to the Armenian National Committee of Canada
    in recognition of the opening of your national office in Ottawa.

    The Armenian-Canadian community has made a profound contribution to Canada
    in many domains. Your new permanent office in the nation's capital will
    ensure that Parliament and the Government of Canada are aware of the
    concerns and aspirations of Armenian-Canadians.'

    Over 30 MPs and Senator, among them the Prime Minister's Parliamentary
    Secretary the Hon. Jason Kenney and Bloc Québécois Leader Gilles Duceppe,
    attended ANCC's national office opening on April 25.

    The Prime Minister's heartfelt sentiments and initiative are greatly
    appreciated by tens of thousand members and supporters of ANCC, said Aris
    Babikian, the executive director of the Armenian National Committee of
    Canada. `We are proud and honoured with our association and cooperation
    with the Prime Minister. It is a great pleasure to see a government and a
    prime minister with such a compassionate and principled feelings towards
    Canadians and their concerns.'
