It was an honour to host an event on Parliament Hill tonight celebrating the birth of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). As we celebrate, we’re reminded of the vibrant Muslim community we have in Canada and their great contributions to our country.

Thank you to everyone who attended the event, and a special thank you to the MC Sukaina Rizvi, and tonight’s speakers: Zaharia Mustafa, Mustafa Al-Aizawi, Oman Sikandar Hashmi, Shakh Warl Al-Zain, and Eshal Uddin for her singing of the national anthem.

It was wonderful to have my fellow MPs, Salma Zahid and Robert-Falcon Ouellette also!
