Mr. Speaker, this month the Sikh community in Canada and around the world is celebrating Vaisakhi , the 302nd anniversary of the Sikh nation.
I wish to thank the Right Hon. Prime Minister for his continued support of the Vaisakhi celebration on Parliament Hill for the past eight years and for his support of the Canadian postage stamp depicting the Sikh symbol of the khanda sahib , which recognizes and honours the contribution of the Sikh community to Canadian society.
I invite all members of the House to congratulate Sikh Canadians on this occasion by attending a Vaisakhi celebration today in the Commonwealth room after question period.
