Mr. Speaker, Canada and Nepal have deep ties, and the impact of this friendship can be felt in both our countries as we recognize 59 years of our friendship. In Nepal, Canadian organizations, such as Canadian Foodgrains Bank, help fight climate change, support businesses, protect the environment and support women. In Canada, and in my city of Brampton, we have a strong and vibrant Nepalese-Canadian community. As the chair of the Canada-Nepal Parliamentary Friendship Group, I was honoured to have welcomed the chairperson of the National Assembly of Nepal to Canada and to have attended many community events led by Canada-Nepal community groups, women's groups and the local cricket team. Earlier this month, I also attended the opening of Hakka Desi Spice restaurant in Brampton. As we celebrate vibrant Nepalese culture and cuisine in our city, let us continue to celebrate and nurture the traditions and culture of Nepal here in Canada.
