Charge: Cabinet Ministers and York University

charge: Since then, he pumped gas to put himself through York University, according to a 2015 Toronto Star profile, worked at the Ontario Legislature, and did his law degree at the University of Ottawa, according to CTV. I'm extremely proud of our country's history as a place of asylum, a place that opens its doors and hearts to new immigrants and refugees, and I am especially proud today to be the minister in charge of that file, Hussen told reporters on Parliament Hill Tuesday. The Somali-Canadian, first elected in 2015, is now in charge of the same program under which he came to Canada from Mogadishu in 1993. All MPs and cabinet ministers enter public life informed by their experiences, he said. I'll bring my experience as an immigrant to Canada, but also as an immigration lawyer, someone who worked many, many years before running for office as a community activist, a community organizer and a community advocate. I'm no different in that sense. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
