S.) Leung ({{zh|梁中心}}) (born July 14, 1950)[1] is a Taiwanese-born Canadian businessman and Conservative politician who was formerly the MP for Willowdale. After his election in the 2011 federal election, Leung was appointed as the Parliamentary Secretary for Multiculturalism, a role he held until his defeat in the 2015 federal election. Early life and educationChungsen Leung was born in Taipei, Taiwan on July 14, 1950.[1] He pursued his secondary education in Japan.[2] As the international community gradually recognized the mainland People's Republic of China in the 1960s, he feared that he could become stateless as a person born in Taiwan.[3] He immigrated to Canada in 1968, where he received a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in economics and business at Carleton University.[5][4] Leung later earned a Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Management and Engineering from the University of Southern California.[4] Business careerLeung is an entrepreneur with business experiences in disaster mitigation management, urban mass transit projects, building environmentally friendly houses, air & water purification systems, sports equipment retailing and red deer farming too. Chungsen also has business experience in the tourism and hospitality sector.{{citation needed|date=October 2015}} He was a business owner and chief executive officer of four Richmond Hill small and medium size enterprises, as well as, a past director and audit chair of the Xenos Group,[5]{{Failed verification|date=October 2015}} a Toronto Stock Exchange listed public company in software development and engineering, and a director with Active Growth Capital.[6]{{Failed verification|date=October 2015}}[7]{{Failed verification|date=October 2015}} His international business experience includes being a member of numerous federal and provincial trade missions during the last two decades; the Toronto-Chongqing Sister City Twinning Mission; organizing the 1st Team Richmond Hill Mission to Asia Pacific; Richmond Hill – Shijiazhuang Sister City Twinning Mission, a member of the Advisory Board for Ontario Export Inc. and the bid team leader to host the 1997 World Chinese Entrepreneur Convention in Toronto.{{citation needed|date=October 2015}} Leung has been: founding president of the Richmond Hill & Markham Chinese Business Association, a corporate cabinet director of the Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto, a member of the Richmond Hill Naturalist, a director of the Richmond Hill Chamber of Commerce and numerous other bi-lateral trade or business related associations.[8][9] Leung is a director of the York Central Hospital Foundation, and a director of the Toronto Regional Conservation Authority Foundation.[10] PoliticsBefore becoming the Conservative Party candidate in 2011, he was the party's candidate for Richmond Hill in the 2008 federal election, losing to Liberal candidate Bryon Wilfert.[11] He was also the candidate for Willowdale representing the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada in the 2000 federal election, losing to Liberal candidate Jim Peterson.[12] Leung was successfully elected to the House in 2011 as the MP for Willowdale, and has served as the Parliamentary Secretary for Multiculturalism since May 25, 2011.[1] During a meeting organized by The Association of North American Ethnic Journalists & Writers in January 2015, Leung was questioned over the closure of the Canadian embassy in Iran and was recorded saying: "Let me ask you, if you like Iran so much, then why do you come to Canada?" during a heated exchange.[17] Although Leung's staff indicated that this could have been the result of a miscommunication during cross-talk, it was a comment which angered some of those present, and Leung sent an email statement shortly after the incident stating that it was not his "intention to offend anyone. I regret if some attendees felt offended." [13] Leung was defeated in the 2015 federal election by Liberal candidate Ali Ehsassi.[14] Personal lifeChungsen Leung is married to Deborah Chute, and together they have one child, Elysia.[4] He has lived in the Willowdale riding for over two decades.[15] Leung underwent training to play the bagpipes at Cape Breton's Gaelic College after becoming enamoured with the instrument during a family vacation to Scotland.[16] Leung played two times for Queen Elizabeth II: once in 2002 for her Ontario Golden Jubilee celebrations and again in 2004, when he was asked to play for her in her summer retreat at Balmoral Castle.[16] Leung also played the bagpipes for Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge during their 2011 royal tour of Canada.[16] Chungsen Leung is a cross country skier, a scuba instructor, an Eagle Scout and the Parliamentary Liaison to Scouts Canada.{{citation needed|date=October 2015}} In 2003, Leung and his wife, Deborah Chute, received five national "Green" awards for building their energy efficient and environmentally friendly house in Richmond Hill. These awards are: Enerquality Corporation for a super R-2000 house, Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation for a healthy home, Canadian Home Builder Association for best environmental practices, Enbridge for low gas consumption guarantee, and Enerwork for being one of the first to use solar energy heating.{{citation needed|date=October 2015}} Electoral record{{Canadian election result/top|CA|2015|percent=yes|change=yes|expenditures=yes}}{{CANelec|CA|Liberal|Ali Ehsassi|24,519|53.4|+13.5|–}}{{CANelec|CA|Conservative|Chungsen Leung|16,990|37.0|-4.7|–}}{{CANelec|CA|NDP|Pouyan Tabasinejad|3,203|7.0|-11.4|–}}{{CANelec|CA|Green|James Arruda|1,025|2.2|+1.81|–}}{{CANelec|CA|Independent|Birinder Singh Ahluwalia|216|0.5|–|–}}{{Canadian election result/total|Total valid votes/Expense limit|45,953|100.0 | |$206,712.87}}{{Canadian election result/total|Total rejected ballots|251|0.5|-0.1}}{{Canadian election result/total|Turnout|46,204|61.46|+3.06}}{{Canadian election result/total|Eligible voters|75,172}}{{CANelec/gain|CA|Liberal|Conservative|+9.1}}{{CANelec/source|Source: Elections Canada[17][18]}}{{end}}{{Canadian election result/top|CA|2011|percent=yes|change=yes|expenditures=yes}}{{CANelec|CA|Conservative|Chungsen Leung|22,207|41.7|+9.2|}}{{CANelec|CA|Liberal|Martha Hall Findlay|21,275|39.9|-8.8|}}{{CANelec|CA|NDP|Mehdi Mollahasani |9,777|18.4|+8.2|}}{{Canadian election result/total|Total valid votes/Expense limit|53,259 |100.0|}}{{Canadian election result/total|Total rejected ballots| 295| 0.6| +0.2| }}{{Canadian election result/total|Turnout| 53,554| 58.4| +6.5| }}{{Canadian election result/total|Eligible voters| 91,631 |–|–| }}{{CANelec/gain|CA|Conservative|Liberal|+9.0}}{{end}}References1. ^1 2 {{cite web | url=http://www.parl.gc.ca/parlinfo/Files/Parliamentarian.aspx?Item=1e6e9765-853d-440f-be8f-e39b76082465&Language=E&Section=ALL | title=LEUNG, Chungsen, B.A., M.Sc. | publisher=Library of Parliament | accessdate=7 October 2015}} 2. ^联邦大选 梁中心为保守党出征 3. ^From Taiwan's shores to Canadian MP, in one generation{{Dead link|date=October 2015}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite web | url=http://www.cbc.ca/news2/canadavotes/riding/182/candidate.html | title=Richmond Hill | publisher=CBC News | date=2008 | accessdate=7 October 2015}} 5. ^Chungsen Leung: Executive Profile and Biography - Businessweek businessweek.com, April 19, 2011 6. ^[https://www.reuters.com/finance/stocks/companyOfficers?symbol=ACK.V&WTmodLOC=C4-Officers-5 Active Growth Capital Inc (ACK.V) People Reuters.com] Reuters.com April 22, 2011 7. ^Company Summary TSX April 22, 2011 8. ^Federal Election Willowdale N.E.
