Statement on Eid al-Adha

OTTAWA- This Friday, Canadians will be celebrating Eid al-Adha. In Newton-North Delta, there will be a food collection, in the true spirit of giving and sacrifice so central to the real meaning of this day.And the prayers that will take place at the Surrey Jamia Masjid, the Grand Taj Banquet Hall, Crystal Banquet Hall and other locations on Friday represent more than just a gathering of those who share faith. It is also a celebration of true community spirit.

I commend the efforts of all my constituents who give so much of themselves to make the celebrations of this day such a success - this year and every year.

I urge all Members of the House here today to join me in wishing all Canadians a very Happy Eid-al-Adha.
