Arnold is the first Candidate to have been approved by the Liberal Party's Green Light Committee in Scarborough-Agincourt

TORONTO, April 30, 2014 /CNW/ - Lawyer, senior corporate manager, and long time Liberal Party activist, Arnold Chan has been officially green lit by the Liberal Party of Canada for the nomination race in Scarborough-Agincourt.

Arnold is the first candidate to be approved to seek the Liberal nomination in Scarborough-Agincourt, where a by-election will be required following the resignation of Liberal MP Jim Karygiannis.

"Across Scarborough-Agincourt are families that are living Justin Trudeau's vision of a Canada built on hope and hard work. They're tired of the Harper government's divisive policies and are eager to join a Trudeau-Chan team in Scarborough-Agincourt that shares their values."

"I am ready for the nomination - but I'm also ready for the by-election. I am ready to provide a bold Liberal vision for Scarborough-Agincourt and send a strong message to Stephen Harper and the Conservative Party."

- Arnold Chan
