Mr. Speaker, every year people of Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese and other Asian heritage gather with their families to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The festival marks the end of autumn harvest, and families use this time to enjoy the fruits of their labour, give thanks to the gods and contemplate the full moon, believed to be a symbol of blessing and prosperity. Today this 3,000-year old tradition is celebrated all around the world and across our country.
Can the Prime Minister tell this House how the Government of Canada is recognizing and celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival this year?
