Mr. Speaker, today marks the spring equinox, otherwise called Nowruz, which marks the new year for Iranians, Afghans, Ismailis, Baha’is, Zoroastrians and over 300 million individuals across the world. Many around the world are excited to welcome spring and the promise of a new year.
I am certain every member of the House will join me in wishing all those celebrating Nowruz across Canada a happy new year.
Happy Nowruz.
