Mr. Speaker, I would like to begin by thanking the member for Scarborough—Agincourt for her hard work and her tireless advocacy for her community.
It is a time to thank and remember the sacrifices of our ancestors, parents and grandparents. This year in particular, at the Mid-Autumn Festival, as we see an increase in anti-Asian racism all across the country, we are reminded of the importance to speak out against discrimination in all its forms, to celebrate our differences and, mostly, to stay united.
We join many Asian communities in Canada and around the world to celebrate this Mid-Autumn Festival.
