Mr. Speaker, Eid al-Fitr is one of the most important days in the Islamic faith. To the Muslims in Nepean, and all across Canada, I wish them, again, Eid Mubarak. After a month of fasting and spiritual reflection, Eid al-Fitr is a joyous occasion for communities and a time of celebration. I celebrated Eid and exchanged Eid greetings with thousands of Muslim Canadians at the event hosted by the Muslim Association of Canada last Friday. Let us find inspiration from the values of compassion, gratitude and generosity that are at the heart of Islam. This is also an opportunity to recognize the many contributions Muslim Canadians have made, and continue to make, to the socio-economic development of our country. Muslim Canadians have strengthened the rich multicultural fabric of Canada.
