Mr. Speaker, on April 18, I was on hand to congratulate the Hon. Gurbax Singh Malhi as he was presented with the key to the City of Brampton in recognition of his outstanding achievements as a trailblazer for the Sikh and South Asian community. His service and dedication to strengthening diversity in Canada is truly commendable. As the first Sikh member of Parliament, his persistence on wearing his turban resulted in a historic change in the rules with respect to wearing headgear in the House of Commons. Mr. Malhi’s legacy of breaking barriers, fighting for equality and being a strong advocate for public service is an inspiration not only for us, but for generations to come. I want to thank the Brampton city council for recognizing Mr. Malhi’s community service with this well-deserved honour.
