Tom Wappel
Member of Parliament, Scarborough Southwest/Député, Scarborough-Sud-Ouest

I was born in Toronto, in 1950, the son of Leslie Wappel (born in Pozsony in 1917) and Margaret Breckner (born in Belenyes, Erdely in 1921). I received my B.A. from the University of Toronto and my law degree from Queen's University (Kingston). I learned Hungarian as my first language. My parents and maternal grandmother instilled a pride of being part of a thousand-year-old nation with many achievements and accomplishments to its credit. Yet they reminded me that it was Canada that gave them unlimited opportunity, something also available to me. In 1988, I was elected to the House of Commons, the first person of Hungarian ancestry to achieve this honour. I was the first person to speak the Hungarian language in the House. I formed the Canada-Hungary Parliamentary Friendship Group (CHPFG), and arranged a visit to Hungary by a delegation of parliamentarians in 2000, financed privately. I am currently the Chairman of the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics, the Co-Chairman of the Canada-China Legislative Association and President of the CHPFG.
