Chris AlexanderGood evening, Ladies and Gentlemen! Bon soir! Nameshgar, Jay Swami Narayan, Sat Seri Akaal! Today I'm delighted to be joined by several parliamentarians and fellow candidates: - The Honourable Bal Gosal, Minister of State (Sport), Conservative candidate in Brampton Centre - The Honourable Deepak Obhrai, Parliamentary Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Conservative candidate in Calgary East - Parm Gill, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of International Trade, Conservative candidate in Brampton North - Ted Opitz, Conservative candidate in Etobicoke Centre - Toyin Dada, Conservative candidate in Etobicoke North - James Robinson, Conservative candidate in York South Weston - Ravinder Malhi, Conservative candidate in Scarborough North - Jagdish Grewal, Conservative candidate in Mississauga Malton - Naval Bajaj, Conservative candidate in Brampton East - Retired Senator Asha Seth Yesterday some of us were here to help launch a book by one great Indian, the late and much-lamented former President Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, about his spiritual journey with another great Indian, your founder, Pramukh Swamiji. Tonight I am proud to be able to introduce an exceptional Canadian leader for our times, He has overseen the best post-recession job creation record in the G7. He has reduced federal taxes to levels last seen under Diefenbaker (before even I was born!). On his watch, our cities are safer, more dynamic, bigger start-up hubs than ever before: for quality of life, Toronto has been rated the best city in the world. Thanks to his leadership it's now easier to come to Canada as an immigrant, businessperson, tourist, student or visitor – the numbers speak for themselves! Thanks to his efforts, Canada-India relations are scaling new heights. With India, he is pursuing enhanced economic partnership and global financial reform. With Prime Minister Modi, he is an outspoken opponent of terrorism in all its forms. During his visit to this mandir in 2008 Dr Abdul Kalam made a famous statement about righteousness. In his last book, he writes that «righteousness is cultivated in our lives by our actions.» Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, please join me in welcoming a leader whose actions are admired around the world, our Prime Minister, the Right Honourable Stephen Harper.
