Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Yesterday,
a
new
kind
of
institution
was
launched
here
in
british
columbia
to
celebrate
humanity,
cross-cultural
understanding
and
the
lifelong
pursuit
of
learning.
The
guru
nanak
institute
of
global
studies,
known
as
gni,
is
a
non-profit
institution
which
will
be
creating
new
opportunities
for
learning
and
dialogue
in
collaboration
with
government
universities,
schools
and
community
gni
is
creating
a
world-class
academic
environment
for
research
and
teaching
on
sikh
studies.
A
A
For
this
exciting,
enviro
and
and
he's
also
been
an
outstanding
leader
in
the
canadian
sikh
community,
particularly
as
a
founding
president
of
the
world
seek
organization
of
canada.
A
His
work
with
fellow
gni
volunteers
builds
on
the
work
of
professor
deja
singh,
the
first
turban
sikh
to
graduate
from
the
harvard
law
school
professor
singh,
envisioned
the
establishment
of
the
university
guided
by
sikh
faith
principles
in
canada
and
gni's.
Commitment
to
research,
education
and
service
helps
us
get
one
step
closer
to
that.
A
With
over
750
000
sikhs,
calling
canada
home,
we
have
the
largest
population
of
sikhs
outside
of
india.
There
is
much
to
learn
about
this
philosophy,
history
and
culture,
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
and
supporting
this
post-secondary
the
secondary
and
post-secondary
students
in
their
studies.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
