Assembly Resolution No. 784

BY: M. of A. Peoples-Stokes

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 July 1, 2025, as Canada Day in the State of New
 York, in celebration of this great Empire State's
 long-standing economic and cultural relationship
 with Canada

 WHEREAS, New York and Canada share deeply rooted economic,
historical, cultural, and familial ties; and

 WHEREAS, New York and Canada share an international border measuring
445 miles in length with 17 international border crossings, including
three of the United States' top 10 busiest border crossings; they also
feature many important international trade corridors, including the
Quebec-New York Corridor, Capitol Corridor, Continental One, as well as
the second-busiest crossing between Canada and the United States at the
Peace Bridge; and

 WHEREAS, Canada is New York's primary export market, with $28.9
billion in exports and over $50 billion in bilateral trade in 2022; and

 WHEREAS, This relationship has led to 801 Canadian-owned companies
operating in the State of New York employing 58,750 New Yorkers; and

 WHEREAS, The economies of Canada and New York are tightly linked
through integrated cross-border supply chains that keep our firms
competitive; and

 WHEREAS, Canada and the United States' mutual security and
prosperity rely upon these predictable and secure trading relationships;
and

 WHEREAS, The United States and Canada share a long-standing
commitment to working together for our common defense, security, and the
continuation of this successful relationship through the North American
Aerospace Defense Command; NORAD is paramount to the future security of
the people of the United States and Canada; this includes the NORAD
subordinate sector command the Eastern Air Defense Sector, in Rome, NY;
and

 WHEREAS, The United States and Canada have a shared commitment to
protect the health and well-being of Americans and Canadians and have
agreed upon a joint roadmap to strengthen comprehensive and
cross-sectoral efforts to collaborate on public health responses and
build resilience against future outbreaks; and

 WHEREAS, New York and Canada also share a commitment to equity,
inclusion, and diversity, highlighting it as a source of strength; their
shared virtue can vanquish intolerance, hate, and radicalism both at
home and across the globe; and

 WHEREAS, New York and Canada are committed partners in addressing
the challenge of climate change and creating a stronger, more

sustainable economy through energy trade, shared innovation development,
and aligned policies and goals; and

 WHEREAS, Recognizing the importance of strong North American supply
chains, New York and Canada promote initiatives such as the NY-Quebec
corridor for semiconductors; and

 WHEREAS, Celebrating the partnership of New York and Canada, the
groundbreaking Champlain Hudson Power Express was introduced, a project
that will bring clean and renewable Canadian hydropower to fuel over one
million homes in New York City, create 1,400 direct construction jobs,
3,200 secondary jobs, and generate $1.4 billion in funding for 73
municipalities and 59 school districts over 25 years across New York
State; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim July 1, 2025, as Canada
Day in the State of New York; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That copies of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York; and Consul General Tom Clark of the Consulate General of Canada in
New York.
