Mr. Speaker, I rise today to highlight the efforts of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at in Mississauga and across the country. This week, I had the privilege of enjoying an lftar with members from the House and the community here in Ottawa, where we broke bread and had wonderful conversations. I want to thank the members of the community for the invitation. It was truly a wonderful evening. Its slogan, “Love for All, Hatred for None” demonstrates the continuous desire to give back to the community through various initiatives and humanitarian work. Unfortunately, the reality is that this peaceful community faces persecution in many countries, including Pakistan and Bangladesh, where its situation continues to worsen. It is imperative that we stand in solidarity with Ahmadiyya Muslims and demand that those perpetrating their persecution be obligated to protect and uphold human rights. I also want to take a moment to wish all Muslims a peaceful and safe Ramadan. Ramadan Mubarak.
