Mr. Speaker, I want to start by saying to everyone celebrating, happy Bandi Chhor Diwas and happy Diwali. Tonight, Liberals will be celebrating Bandi Chhor Diwas and Diwali on the Hill because no one can take away the light of Canadians. We know that light will conquer darkness. We know that hope will conquer fear. We know that knowledge will beat ignorance any single day.
Today, I know the member has given so many comments about what we could be doing. Taking the time to really appreciate Canadians and everything that they offer is important to be doing. The Conservatives choose to be debating privilege, rather than policies and bills that could be helping Canadians and yet, they want to play partisan politics. Does the member agree that light will conquer darkness, hope will conquer fear and that we should be celebrating the diversity of our country?
