Mr. Speaker, today I want to congratulate the Muslim community as we approach Eid al-Adha. This holy feast of sacrifice and generosity reminds us of the values of sharing and solidarity.
As the proud representative of Alfred-Pellan, I have the pleasure of spending time with the great North African community that enriches our riding. Its solidarity, generosity and joie de vivre are a true source of pride.
During this festive period, I wish all Muslims in Alfred-Pellan and across Canada a happy and blessed holiday. May this celebration be filled with peace, happiness and prosperity.
I encourage the House and all Canadians to join me in recognizing and celebrating the wealth that cultural and religious diversity brings to our country.
Eid Mubarak to everyone.
