Mr. Speaker, today I rise in the house to speak about Diwali, a festival of lights and joy. The festival awakens our inner light of spirituality. True festivities and inner happiness come only if there is economic prosperity.
I compliment the government for its leadership role in the fields of innovation, science education, and economic development because these are the keys to our economic growth.
On behalf of Bramptonians, their council, and their members of Parliament, I thank the government for the Diwali gift of a new university in Brampton, which was long overdue. This university will provide the best education for our kids and grandkids and prepare them for suitable jobs and the best living standards.
Let me wish all Canadians a happy Diwali and a happy Bandi Chhor Day.
