前联邦国会议员董晗鹏公告：宣布退出本次联邦竞选
多伦多当河谷北区前联邦国会议员董晗鹏3月30日正式公告：宣布退出本次联邦竞选。
公告
不久前，加拿大自由党告知我，他们将在当河谷北区推举一位新的候选人参选。经过与家人、团队及支持者的认真商讨，我决定不参加这次联邦选举，以给予自由党最大机会组建政府，并保护我们免受特朗普所带来的威胁。
无法参与这场重要的选举，我深感遗憾。众所周知，约两年前，我被迫离开自由党党团，以便回应环球新闻（Global News）对我作出的虚假指控、以证清白。我至今仍在通过法律途径为自己抗争。我衷心感谢所有为我仗义执言、努力回击不公指控的人们。我也感激那些参与调查针对我指控的相关人士，包括玛丽-乔塞·霍格法官（Justice Marie-Josée Hogue）。关于联邦选举过程和民主制度外国干预问题的公共调查最终报告指出，环球新闻对我的指控完全不属实。

尽管有正面的调查报告和结论，我的诉讼案件仍在继续。我必须继续通过法院控告环球新闻，寻求公正。我认为自己正是霍格法官警示中“活生生的例子”，她曾这样说：
“这些例子表明，依赖未经验证的情报将某位国会议员公开贴上‘叛国者’标签，是极不公平的。这种指控在情报信息的不稳定性和当事人无法公平自辩的前提下，是不正当的，而它对个人所造成的影响却是深远且无法挽回的。”
能为当河谷北区居民服务是我一生的荣幸，能与许多勤勉敬业的社区领袖、志愿者和公共机构的工作人员并肩努力、共同成长，更是令我感到无比谦卑与感恩。每当我读到选民留下的感谢评论或好评，称赞办公室所提供的高质量服务，我都深感幸运拥有这样一支优秀的团队。
最后，我要衷心感谢我的家人、朋友、同事和支持者们——包括那些我未曾谋面的人——感谢你们始终信任我、鼓励我、支持我，并以满满的善意与爱包容我。
谢谢你们！

Statement
I was informed by the Liberal Party of Canada that they will have a new candidate running in Don Valley North. After speaking with my family, team, and supporters, I have decided not to participate in this election to give the LPC the best chance to form a government and protect us from the threats posed by Donald Trump.
I am disappointed not to be part of this important campaign. As many know, I had no choice but to leave the Liberal caucus about two years ago to try to clear my name in response to false accusations Global News published about me. I am continuing my fight to do that through the Court. I am grateful for the many people who have defended me and tried to address this injustice. I am also grateful for the many people who worked on investigating the accusations made against me, including Justice Marie-Josée Hogue. The final report on the Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference in Federal Electoral Processes and Democratic Institutions showed that Global News’ accusations about me were completely false.

Despite the positive reports and conclusions on these questions, my legal case continues. I must continue to seek justice from the Court in my lawsuit against Global News. I consider myself to be a living example of many of Justice Hogue’s warnings, including this one:
“Examples like these demonstrate why it would be entirely unfair to rely on untested intelligence to publicly label an individual parliamentarian a traitor. This would have a profound impact on the individual, one that could not be justified in light of the frailties of intelligence and the inability to give them a fair opportunity to defend themselves.”
It has been a privilege to serve the residents of DVN and a humbling experience to work with and learn from so many hardworking leaders, volunteers of community organizations and public institutions. Every time I read a thank-you comment or review left by my constituents for the top-quality services they received from my office, I am reminded how fortunate I have been for my wonderful team.
Lastly, I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to my family, friends, colleagues and supporters, including all those I have never met, for sticking with me and embracing me with trust, encouragement and love.
THANK YOU!
Sincerely,
Han Dong
