Mr. Speaker, Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.
As we celebrate Vaisakhi and Sikh Heritage Month in April, we commemorate the founding of the Khalsa Panth in 1699 by Guru Gobind Singh Ji. This moment formalized the Sikh commitment to equality, social justice, courage and service to others. These teachings continue to guide generations. Sikh Canadians strengthen our communities through seva, selfless service, uplifting those in need and bringing people together. These are not only Sikh values; these are Canadian values.
Today, we are celebrating Vaisakhi on the Hill. I want to thank everyone who has joined from across Canada. On behalf of the residents of Brampton South, I wish everyone who is celebrating around the world a very happy Vaisakhi and Sikh Heritage Month.
Vaisakhi athe Khalsa sirjana divas diyaan seriya nu lakh vadhaiyan hoven.
