Harper’s official portrait to be unveiled 20 years after first victory

“Next week’s events are a timely reminder that Canadian sovereignty is upheld through an enduring Parliament, strong institutions and the peaceful, orderly transfer of power,” said Anna Tomala, a spokesperson for Harper, in a message to National Post. “The 20th anniversary of the Harper government honours the wider team, those who shoulder the daily work of governing and steward the public trust. Mr. Harper’s portrait unveiling, the Harper government 20th anniversary gala, and the surrounding events aim to celebrate Canada, strengthen our resolve and the enduring values that unite us.”
