Mr. Speaker, on behalf of common-sense Conservatives, we wish all Sikhs across Canada a happy Sikh Heritage Month and a very happy Vaisakhi. To be a Sikh is to always courageously stand up for justice and humbly serve society's most vulnerable. It is to be a beacon of hope and to be uplifting, like a lighthouse, to help others to safety. It is to selflessly serve others above all else by the grace of God. Canada hosts the largest Sikh diaspora in the world, and we recognize the immense contributions of Sikhs to Canada through their seva. Organizations such as the Dashmesh Culture Centre in Calgary, the Guru Nanak Food Bank in Surrey and Khalsa Aid truly embody the teachings of the Khalsa. For generations, Sikhs have added the wealth of their history and traditions to our communities, strengthening the bonds of freedom and prosperity that have made Canada so great. Conservatives share the deep-rooted values of faith, family and freedom with the Sikh community. I wish all members a happy Sikh Heritage Month. Vaisakhi diyan lakh lakh vadhaiyan.
