9月6日黃幸來博士（Dr Laura Xinglai Huang)接獲自由黨競選委員會主席正式通知，沒有獲得推薦競選委員會同意參與黨內提名選舉。她稱通知令她無比震驚，上百名競選團隊成員更是無比憤怒。

以下是黃幸來博士發出的感謝信全文：
親愛的朋友們,
首先非常感謝大家對我參加競選自由黨聯邦國會議員候選人的信任與支持!
因為有一個非常傑出的競選團隊和你們的支持，我做為最晩決定參選的人，成功簽到了最多的簽名–超過5000名支持者。如果有一個公平的機會，我們一起一定能贏得提名！
不幸的是，自由黨競選委員會主席上周五卻以電子郵件單方面通知我，說綠燈委員會沒有推薦競選委員會同意我參與提名選舉。無論我和我團隊成員怎樣要求他們告知理由，對方都拒不回復。
這個不同意我參選的通知讓我無比震驚，我的上百名競選團隊成員無比憤怒。相信你們收到這封信時，也會如此。在此，我要向你，我親愛的支持者們表示深切的歉意，因為自由黨競選委員會的這個令人震驚的決定，以至於我無法帶着你們走向投票箱投上你們神聖而不可冒犯的一票!
我是一個聯邦政府的僱員，在我是否可以參選前，我受雇的政府部門和全國公共服務委員會對我參與公職競選的資格進行了嚴格而仔細的審查評估，批准了我參與任何黨派提名競選。然而，黨派政治卻是如此的不同。
作為一個科學家長期致力於環境，天氣預報尤其是惡烈天氣預報及全球氣候變化方面研究，我應該是最合適的能以科學為依據來參與競選過程中辨論及政策制定。我們需要更多的科學知識而少一些政治因素來解決我們現在及下一代所面臨的各種挑戰。
作為一個20多年來長期義務服務社區，和一些社區草根組織的組織者和創始人, 在過去的5年中，我在完成自己本職工作之外，還積極義務服務了許多DVN選區的機構，社區組織與居民，與大家一起討論過自由黨領袖所提倡的公平，開放，透明的提名競選的疑問。
怎能想到，我們所期望的公平，開放和透明的機制卻是被幕後的少數幾個人所恣意玩弄，以「不同意參選」而且不提供任何理由!
Dr. Laura Huang 黃幸來Dr. Laura Huang 黃幸來聯邦自由黨及領袖經常說要鼓勵女性參選。在自由黨的網頁上一直寫着「Invite her to run」 「邀請她參選」。
然而現實中，當一名女性參選人，擁有超過5000名的自由黨支持者，這也許是創歷史的記錄，卻被自由黨提名攔截了。
現在請把口號由「邀請她參選」」Invite Her Run」變成「讓她參選」」Let Her Run」吧!
我已去信自由黨競選委員會和綠燈委員會，要求告之不讓我參選的理由。至今沒有答覆。我擁有非常乾淨和引以自豪的各種記錄。這是2019年，一個擁有超過5000多名支持者的女性是否能夠成為提名候選人，應該由她選區的支持者來決定，而不是呆在幕后角落里的幾個人。
親愛的朋友，雖然我競選提名的權力被無情地剝奪了，但是通過這次提名競選，我非常高興有機會遇.你們，感恩感謝你們的信任與支持!
競選委員會的主席們和綠燈委員會的成員們可以剝奪我參選的機會，但是他們不能剝奪你們投票的權利!
如果你們願意，在9月12日你們可以前往投票。September 12, 2019 with voting from 5:30 pm to
9:30 pm at The Hallcrown, 45 Hallcrown Place。我的名字將不會出現在選票上。但你們可以寫下任何人的名字或者是黨指定的任何一人。如果你們的聲音發出去了，也許將來有一天，一個有着5000多名支持者的女性不會被幾個大眾所看不.的人而攔截，能終將迎來公正，透明和開放的提名選舉!
再次感謝你們!
黃幸來

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.
Dr. Laura Huang Dr. Laura Huang
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
