以下是黄幸来博士发出的感谢信全文：
亲爱的朋友们,
首先非常感谢大家对我参加竞选自由党联邦国会议员候选人的信任与支持!
因为有一个非常杰出的竞选团队和你们的支持，我做为最晩决定参选的人，成功签到了最多的签名–超过5000名支持者。如果有一个公平的机会，我们一起一定能赢得提名！
不幸的是，自由党竞选委员会主席上周五却以电子邮件单方面通知我，说绿灯委员会没有推荐竞选委员会同意我参与提名选举。无论我和我团队成员怎样要求他们告知理由，对方都拒不回复。
这个不同意我参选的通知让我无比震惊，我的上百名竞选团队成员无比愤怒。相信你们收到这封信时，也会如此。在此，我要向你，我亲爱的支持者们表示深切的歉意，因为自由党竞选委员会的这个令人震惊的决定，以至于我无法带着你们走向投票箱投上你们神圣而不可冒犯的一票!
我是一个联邦政府的雇员，在我是否可以参选前，我受雇的政府部门和全国公共服务委员会对我参与公职竞选的资格进行了严格而仔细的审查评估，批准了我参与任何党派提名竞选。然而，党派政治却是如此的不同。
作为一个科学家长期致力于环境，天气预报尤其是恶烈天气预报及全球气候变化方面研究，我应该是最合适的能以科学为依据来参与竞选过程中辨论及政策制定。我们需要更多的科学知识而少一些政治因素来解决我们现在及下一代所面临的各种挑战。
作为一个20多年来长期义务服务社区，和一些社区草根组织的组织者和创始人, 在过去的5年中，我在完成自己本职工作之外，还积极义务服务了许多DVN选区的机构，社区组织与居民，与大家一起讨论过自由党领袖所提倡的公平，开放，透明的提名竞选的疑问。
怎能想到，我们所期望的公平，开放和透明的机制却是被幕后的少数几个人所恣意玩弄，以“不同意参选”而且不提供任何理由!
Dr. Laura Huang 黄幸来Dr. Laura Huang 黄幸来联邦自由党及领袖经常说要鼓励女性参选。在自由党的网页上一直写着“Invite her to run” “邀请她参选”。
然而现实中，当一名女性参选人，拥有超过5000名的自由党支持者，这也许是创历史的记录，却被自由党提名拦截了。
现在请把口号由“邀请她参选””Invite Her Run”变成“让她参选””Let Her Run”吧!
我已去信自由党竞选委员会和绿灯委员会，要求告之不让我参选的理由。至今没有答复。我拥有非常干净和引以自豪的各种记录。这是2019年，一个拥有超过5000多名支持者的女性是否能够成为提名候选人，应该由她选区的支持者来决定，而不是呆在幕后角落里的几个人。
亲爱的朋友，虽然我竞选提名的权力被无情地剥夺了，但是通过这次提名竞选，我非常高兴有机会遇.你们，感恩感谢你们的信任与支持!
竞选委员会的主席们和绿灯委员会的成员们可以剥夺我参选的机会，但是他们不能剥夺你们投票的权利!
如果你们愿意，在9月12日你们可以前往投票。September 12, 2019 with voting from 5:30 pm to
9:30 pm at The Hallcrown, 45 Hallcrown Place。我的名字将不会出现在选票上。但你们可以写下任何人的名字或者是党指定的任何一人。如果你们的声音发出去了，也许将来有一天，一个有着5000多名支持者的女性不会被几个大众所看不.的人而拦截，能终将迎来公正，透明和开放的提名选举!
再次感谢你们!

Dear Friends,
Thank you for supporting me in the upcoming nomination for the riding of Don Valley North.
Through your support and the hard work of our dedicated volunteers, we have gone from the 3rd candidate to enter the race to be the lead candidate in the race with over 5,000 supporters. I know that with your continuing support at the nomination, we were on our way to winning the nomination together!
However, on Friday afternoon, I received a letter from Nikki Hipkin, the National Campaign Co-Chair that the Green Light Committee did not recommend my candidacy for nomination. No reasons were given!
The decision to stop me from running came as a complete shock. The fact that no reasons were given further fuels my anger. Like you, we don’t want to be accused, judged, and sentenced without even hearing the charges.
As an employee of a Federal department, I must be rigorously reviewed by my employer and the Public Service Commission of Canada before I am permitted to stand for nomination for any party. This is a very thorough process which I am pleased to say that I was approved by my Federal employer and the Public Service Commission of Canada to run for the nomination. Sadly, party politics are different.
As a scientist, working on the environment, weather forecast and global climate change challenge, I can add a valuable fact-based voice to our election debate on these issues. We need more scientists and less politics to solve the challenge of our generation.
As an active member of the Don Valley North community for over 20 years, with a highly regarded professional career, and having served side by side with many of you in the riding for the past five years, I share with many of our supporters in questioning the fair, open and transparent nomination that the Liberal leader often claims.
How can we have a fair, open and transparent nomination, when a secretive backroom committee can decide without reasons on who YOU can vote for in the upcoming nomination? You all know me and my qualifications. I have no doubt that if we only signed 50 supporters instead of 5,000 supporters, my candidacy would be approved.

As a Party, we have been encouraging more women candidates to run. This is the message from our feminist leader. It’s also right there in our Party’s website “Invite her to run”.
A nomination battle is often a major barrier for women candidates so, when a woman candidate steps forward and rallies over 5,000 supporters for the Liberal Party, in what might be the largest nomination effort by any woman candidate, it’s extremely heartbreaking when she is stopped from running by backroom games.
What signal are we sending to generations of young woman from coast to coast, when a woman’s campaign signs 5,000 supporters and is barred from the Liberal nomination?
Instead of a slogan “invite her to run” what we need is a real message to women and “let her run.”
I have written to the National Campaign Co-Chairs and the Green Light Committee to disclose the reasons why I am stopped from standing for the nomination. I am proud of my record and my standing in the community. It’s 2019, let a woman candidate be judged by the 5,000 and more Liberal supporters of the riding, and not the backroom people of the party.
One thing that I take away from this entire nomination process is that I am humbled and proud that I had a chance to meet all of you and to be able to walk side by side with you in the past months.
Although, the National Campaign Co-Chairs and the Green Light Committee have taken away my voice, a woman’s voice, they can never take away YOUR VOICE.
You can still vote!
The nomination meeting has been called for Thursday, September 12, 2019 with voting from 5:30 pm to 9:30 pm at The Hallcrown, 45 Hallcrown Place.
My name will not be on the ballot, but you can write in any name you wish. Or you can vote for one of the party’s approved candidates. And if 5,000 voices speak up, maybe a woman’s voice will be heard by the secretive backroom people and one day we might truly have a fair, open and transparent nomination.
Humbly yours,
Laura Huang
