Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, Ted Arnott traced back to the history of Nepal and lauded Nepal as a non-colonial country in the history of the world.

He also shared his happiness and expressed his pride to be with all Nepalese at the provincial parliament. Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) Parkdale-High Park, Karpoche has expressed her emotional feelings and attachment with Nepal and Nepali people noting that she was also born in Kathmandu – the capital city of federal Nepal.

She further said that the special national day has reminded all dignified Nepali immigrants of their struggle at home and abroad for the reinstatement of democracy and promulgation of the hard-earned Constitution of federal democratic republic Nepal through the historical Constituent Assembly – a seven decade-long dream of Nepali people to make the people-centered statute.
