Mr. Speaker, every year in the heart of Surrey—Newton, the annual Vaisakhi and Khalsa Day parade attracts nearly half a million Canadians celebrating the birth of Khalsa.
Outside of India, it is the largest celebration in the world and an amazing display of the diverse and multicultural character of our country.
On April 21, I invite all members of the House and their constituents to join me in celebrating this joyous occasion, and I want to send my best wishes to all Canadians celebrating Vaisakhi and Khalsa Day.

Happy Khalsa Day and happy Vaisakhi.
