 Hello everyone. Bonjour à tous. I am delighted to join Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean and Japanese communities to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Tonight, friends and families will gather to give thanks for the harvest and the year's successes. A full moon will shine over the festivities, symbolizing unity and prosperity. As we light lanterns and eat mooncakes, we are reminded of Canada's rich diversity. Our country is prosperous and strong because we celebrate and find unity in our differences. Tonight is the time to give thanks to the numerous communities who celebrate this occasion and who make Canada a place where it makes so many people live. On behalf of our family, Sophie and I wish everyone celebrating a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
