[applause] [speaking in native tongue] translator friends, it is a pleasure to be here today to host one of the newest and possibly bravest citizens of canada, Malala Yousafzai [cheers and applause] [applause] it is a privilege to welcome you to our house now that youre an Honorary Canadian i hope youll consider this your house, too. Welcome. Malala yousafzais story is one we know well. It is both exceptional and familiar. Out of this world and sadly commonplace. You heard about this old, girl from swat valley who stood up to the taliban. A politically engaged 12yearold whose inspiring kids to raise their voices and made by example. The greatest wants in life was to go to school and refused to be silenced. We stood in on of her and with four we watched as coward tried to take her life. As the world, we were reminded that a bullet is no match for an idea. [applause] in the face of evil, what is right and what is good will always prevail. Malala. [speaking in native tongue] translator you said you wish no ill and amanda tried to kill you. In so doing, you restored enormous goodness and goodness is one thing canadians somehow recognize in themselves. Just a few months ago, we had a terrorist attack against a mosque in quebec city. This senseless act of violence left thinks innocent people dead. Husbands, fathers and sons. And yet, in even after their crimes come a canadians remained united. We didnt give in to hatred or fear. We took the same positive approach that we always take as canadian. We showed the world that we would not meet violence with violence, but that we would meet fear and hatred with love and compassion. Malala yousafzai, you are a model of kindness through your words as well as your action. And that is something that resonates not only with canadians, but with the rest of the world as well. Yours is a story of an ordinary girl doing extraordinary things, and everyday hero, a trailblazer and a teenager, a renegade and a reader, a fearless advocate and a girl who wants nothing more than to see more kids in classrooms. And on top of that, your impossibly humble. We canadians are all about that. When you accepted the nobel peace prize, use that i tell my story not because it is unique, but because it is not. And when he spoke at the u. N. , you said i raised up my voice not so that i can shout, but so that those without a voice can be heard. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the true embodiment of leadership in surveys. We should all wish to serve so honorably in our own lifetime. [applause] malala, you have given my two boys and girls mired in darkness and you have challenged women and men of all backgrounds to be battery so that we may do better. One area where we must all do better if in educating our young people. We know that only through education can we achieve true peace. I say that not only as a husband, father and community member. At first and foremost say that as a teacher. I was lucky enough to teach some really great kids in d. C. For five years and they taught me that going to school is about more than just learning how to read and write. It is about challenging your worldview. It is about innovation and its about solving problems by working together. Education has the power to change the world. They can then poverty, fight Climate Change, prevent wars. But in order to achieve progress, we all have to make sure that all children, girls as well as always get to go to school. [applause] i couldnt imagine a world where my sons could enjoy the gift of learning but my daughter, ella grace could not. She like so many other little girls love to learn and shed be devastated if she had that right taken from her. Its no secret that women and girls still have to fight for things that men often take are granted. The right to vote, the right to serve ones country the right to equal pay. The right to choose. Unfortunately, if i were to finish this list it would take me all day. And yet any society requires the sole participation of women and girls and that starts always with education. Here in canada, our children have the skills they need to have a fulfilling life in the everchanging world. As minister and father of young children, education is a priority for me. Last month we announced funding for a program that will help give children the basics of coding. We are helping more children from lowincome communities finished their studies. We are investing in programs that encourage young people to take an interest in science, technology, engineering and math nine x, boys and girls. Building schools to ensure that every indigenous good at living on reserve received a good education. For too long these children have been neglected. [applause] thats unacceptable and we must do more. For the sake of girls and boys around the world, for the sake of our future, the time to act is now. My friends, we know that progress starts as an idea rooted in conviction, brought to life by the right word and driven into action with courage. We call on our brothers and sisters around the world to speak boldly and without fear, knowing in their hearts that the right words at the right time can make change happen. Malala, you chose hope. You chose dignity. You chose determination and children around the world thank you for it. Today in this country and in this chamber, we honor you. Im not [applause] [applause] ladies and gentlemen, it your friends, it is my privilege to introduce to you a champion for education and a fearless new canadian, Malala Yousafzai. [cheers and applause] [applause] [speaking in native tongue] in the name of god, the most merciful, the most inefficient, good afternoon, [speaking in native tongue] mr. Prime minister, madam trudeau, mr. Speaker, members of the house and senate, distinguished guests, my parents, [applause] and finally, the people of canada thank you so much for the warm welcome to your country. This is my first trip to canada, but not my first attempt. In the 22nd of october, 2014, my father and i landed at the taranto airport excited for a first visit to a wonderful country. We have to take parliament killing a canadian soldier, wounding others and threatening leaders and civil silence where i stand today. Professional advisers to reschedule the following are hard, we headed back to england promising to return to canada today. They call themselves a month on. But he did not share my faith. He did not share the fate of one muslims living in peace around the world. [applause] im short so i cant read some of the words. Now i can read the speech. [laughter] back to my point that the men called himself a muslim, but he did not share my faith. He did not share the faith of one and half billion muslims living around the world. He did not share islam, but as a compassion and mercy. Im a muslim and i believe if you kill an innocent person, you are not muslim anymore. You and the person who attacked not share my faith. [applause] instead, he showed the hatred of the man was sitting not killing six people. The same hatred of the men who killed civilian and Police Officer in london three weeks ago. They killed 132 children in pakistan and public school. The same hatred of the man who shot me and my two school friends. If men have tried to divide us and destroy our democracy, our freedom of religion or rate to go to school. But we and you refuse to be divided. Canadians, wherever you were born, however you worship, stand together. And nothing proves this more than your commitment to refugees. Around the world, we have heard about canada here. We heard about the members of the First United Church here in ottawa but sponsored newlywed and mina and abraham. A few months later, the family had their first child, a little guy named molly. The church decided to raise more money to bring the brother and family to canada so my could grow up with cousins. We heard about jorge and vancouver who came to canada as a child refugee. As a young adult, he is working with todays children immigrants and refugees come hopping on the top a new culture and country. And im very proud to announce that mohammed a refugee who came to canada as a child is malalas new ceo, canadian one now they education around the world. [applause] many people from my own country of pakistan have found a Promised Land in canada. I would be a famous player for my relatives here today. Like the refugees in canada and all around the world, i have seen here and experience when i did not know if i was safer not. I remember how my mom used to put a letter at the back of her house that if anything happens we could escape. I still remember a verse every night to protect her family and as many people as i could. Thinking that someone would stop me and harmony. I would hide my books under my scarf. The sound of bombs would wake me up at night. Every morning i would hear the news that more innocent people have been killed. I saw men with big guns in the street. Theres more peace now and my home in pakistan, but families like mine from palestine to venezuela, somalia to my mama, to congo are forced to flee their homes because of violence. [applause] i am humbled to accept honorary citizenship of your country. I will always be up proud citizen of pakistan. I am grateful to be an honorary member of your nation though i still require visa. [laughter] but thats another discussion. [laughter] [applause] im also very happy to meet minister trudeau this morning. I am amazed by his embrace of refugee, his it commitment of a gender balanced cabinet and dedication to keeping women and girls at the development of your society. One thing has surprised me, people are always talking about how young he is. They say he is the second youngest Prime Minister in canadian history. He does yoga, he has tattoos. [laughter] and a lot more, and while i was coming here, everyone was telling me shake his hands and let us know how he looks in reality. [laughter] and people were so excited about meeting trudeau. I dont think anyone cared about the canadian honorary citizenship. [laughter] while it may be true that Prime Minister trudeau is young and he is a young head of government, i would like to tell something to the children of canada, that you dont have to be as old as a very young minister trudeau to be a leader. [applause] i have a lot left so if you do a standing ovation again and again you will get tired. I want to share my story, i want to tell the children of canada when i was little i used to wait to be an adult to lead, but i have learned that even a child, even a childs voice can be heard across the world. To the young women of canada, i want to say step forward. Raise your voices, and the next time i visit i hope to see more of you filling the seats. [applause] to the men of canada, be proud feminists and help women get equal opportunities as men, and to the leaders of canada, today in this room, the you may have different politics and priorities, i know each one of you is trying to respond to some of our worlds most pressing problems. I have traveled the world and that many people in many countries. I have firsthand experience and i have seen many problems we are facing today, war, economic instability, Climate Change and health crisis. I can tell you the answer is girls. Secondary education can transform communities, countries and our world. Heres what the statistics say. I am staying at for those who still dont accept education as important, but i hope they will hear that if all girls went to school for 12 years, lower and middle Income Countries would add 92 billion. Year to their economy. Educated girls are less likely to marry young and contract hiv and more likely to have healthy educated children. The Brookings Institution called secondary education for girls as the most costeffective and best investment against Climate Change. When a country gives all its children secondary education they cut war in half. Education is vital for the security of the world because extremism grows alongside inequality in places where people seem to have no opportunity, no voice nor hope. There are more jobs for everyone when women are educated. When mothers can keep their children alive and send them to school there is hope. 130 Million Girls around the world are out of school today. They may not know the statistics but they may understand that education is the only path to brighter futures and they are fighting to go to school. Last summer, on a trip to kenya, i was introduced to the bravest girl i have ever met. At age 13 they fled somalia and came to the Worlds Largest refugee camp. She had never been inside a classroom, but she worked hard to catch up. In a few years, she graduated primary school. At age 18, she was introduced to secondary school when her parents decided to move back to somalia. They promised she could continue her education, but when her family returned, there were no schools for her to attend. Her father said her education. [inaudible] she remembered a friend from the refugee camp who won a scholarship in a university in canada. She wrote a neighbors internet and contacted him through facebook, over the internet, she bought a bus ticket and set out on an eight day long trip back to the refugee camp, the only place she knew she could go to school. For the Sustainable Development goals, our nations promised every girl she would go to school for 12 years. We promised the developing countries would Work Together to make a it a reality for the poorest girls in the world. I know politicians cannot keep every promise they make. This is the one you must honor. World leaders can no longer expect girls to fight this battle alone. We can gain peace, growing economies, improve our Public Health in the air we breathe, or we can lose another generation of girls. I stand with girls, as someone who knows what it is like to wonder if you will ever be able to go back to school. I stand with girls as someone who knows how it feels to have the right of education taken away and your dreams. I know where i stand. If you stand with me i ask you to use every opportunity for Girls Education over the next year. Dear canada, i am asking you to lead once again. First, make Girls Education a central thing of your g1717 presidency next year. Use your influence to influence the Global Funding gap. Through the same leadership in education, host the partnership for education. Bring leaders together and there will be new funding for girls to go to school. If canada leads, i know the world will follow. Finally, prioritize 12 years of education and schooling for refugees. Today only a portion of refugee children can get education. We should not ask children who gave up their homes to also give up their dreams. We must recognize that young refugees are future leaders on whom we all depend heard the world needs leadership based on saving humanity, not based on how many weapons you have. Senators can take that lead. Our world has many problems, but we dont need to look far for the solution. You already have one. She is living in a refugee camp in jordan. She is walking 5 kilometers to school in guatemala. She is every one of the girls out of school around the world today. We know what to do, but we must look inside ourselves for the will to keep our promises. Sisters and brothers, we have a responsibility to improve the world. When future generations read about us in their books or on their ipads or whatever the next innovation will be, i dont want them to be shocked that 130 Million Girls could not go to school and we did nothing. I dont want them to be shocked that we did not stand up for child refugees as millions of families fled their home. I dont want us to be known for failing them. Let the future generations say we were the ones who stood up. Let them say we were the first ones. We were the first to live in a world where all girls can learn and lead without fear. Let us be the ones who bring that change we want to see. Thank you so much for listening. [applause] [applause] [applause] [applause] [applause] [applause] [applause] malala, Prime Minister trudeau, madame chief justice, excellencies, honorable senato senators, members of the house of commons, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen. It is a great honor to have you here with us today. On behalf of all of my parliamentary colleagues, i would like to thank you for your inspiring words. [applause] thank you for those very inspiring words. The message which you bring resonates around the world. It is a message that empowers people to distinguish truth from lies and right from wrong. The last time we gathered in this place was in june when president obama addressed us, standing where used it today. We thank him for his accomplishment during his eightyeayearterm, reflecting oy that was soon to come to an end. Today we are here for a different purpose. Today we are not so much about the past as we are the future. In these troubling times, it can be difficult to be optimistic. There is a great deal of fear in the world. Fear, as we all know is a very powerful emotion. It feeds intolerance, it breeds division, and as you know all too well, intolerance leads to unspeakable acts of brutality and oppression. The clear antidote to fear his knowledge. The pursuit of knowledge through education is an undeniable good. Education reveals that our differences are a source of strength, the ideas are exciting and enriching, and where it is allowed to flourish, education improves the lives of people everywhere. It allows women and girls to be equal to men and boys, to enable everyone to make equal contributions to make this a better world that we all live in. Direct recognition of benefits must be taught and taught courageously, especially in a world where falsehoods are so often held out as facts. The french writer and philosopher once said, if you want to build a ship do not send people to collect wood. Do not assign them jobs, do not assign them tasks. Teach them too long for the immensity. Your extraordinary example teaches all of us to appreciate the value of education and long for the immensity of knowledge. Collectively, we should all strive to further education in the world to awaken reason where it sleeps and to help improve the suffering of the poor and the oppressed. We thank you once again for your courage and determination in fighting for everyone, especially for the rights of girls and women to be educated in your country and around the world. While we do face great challenges, your leadership shines a very bright light in an otherwise dark place. We are so proud to have you as an Honorary Canadian. No matter what our age, whether we are young or old, you are an example for us all. We all aspire to be malala. Thank you. [applause] [applause] malala, the minister trudeau, the speaker of the senate, my friends, excellencies, honorable senators, members of the house of commons, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen. It is my plan pleasure and privilege to thank you on behalf of your fellow canadians for your inspiring words today. You have been a champion for education rights, in particular for girls, since you were 11, and it is clear that over the years your passion for this cause has only grown stronger. I know that you yourself have given credit for this determination to your father and your mother. Both of whom nurtured your love of learning and encouraged you to pursue your dreams. As a father, i know it cant have been easy for them to have set aside appearance natural desire to protect their child from the dangers that are all around and let her follow her heart. I would like to thank your parents for their courage and their generosity in sharing their only daughter with the world. [applause] [speaking in native tongue] lay like you have been a pilgrim for peace and education for many years. Balancing your advocacy work with your own educational pursuit in acknowledgment of your remarkable work, you have received a number of national and International Honors including an Honorary Degree from university of Kings College in my city of halifax nova scotia. [applause] now an exciting new chapter in your life is about to begin as you embark on your university career. A expect it will be as remarkable and unique as you. Even as you fought for the right to learn, you have fought for the same rate for others. As you have spoken up for children, you have taught them to speak up for themselves and to demand what is theirs. In other words, you may still be a student, but you have also become a teacher. If you look up at the galleries of this chamber, you will see hundreds of your students. [applause] gandhi said, real education consists in drawing the best out of ourselves. This you have already accomplished. As you pursue your academic dreams, whatever they may be, i have no doubt you will continue to make the world a better place.
