The honourable Marco E. L. Mendicino: I want to take this opportunity to wish you a very Merry Christmas and the very best in the New Year.

This holiday season is a chance to slow down and spend some time with family and friends.

As we look to the new decade ahead, full of promise and opportunity, I want to wish you, and those closest to you, good health and happiness and of course, a very Merry Christmas.

The screen changes to a Christmas wreath with many ornaments, and in the middle of it, the text “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year” appears.

The screen fades to black and shows the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada corporate signature along with the copyright message “Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada, represented by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, 2019.”
