Mr. Speaker, I think people are concerned about the mistakes that the leader of the Conservative Party is making. We could talk about his announcement on housing from yesterday or the security clearance. One that really affects me and I think would upset a lot of Canadians is a more recent decision. When I think of Canada's diversity, I always think of how we have been enriched as a society, through, for example, Diwali, which we are going to be celebrating over the coming days. It is a part of our Canadian heritage in terms of who we are as a nation and as a people. Whether truth over misinformation or light over darkness, the member knows it well, as he is very familiar with Diwali.
The leader of the Conservative Party has made the determination that he does not want Conservatives to participate in Diwali. Can he explain why?
