Let me remind Mario that the Indian presence in Canada is more than 100 years old. The Sikhs were the pioneers. Today, the second- and third-generation Indians are doing extremely in major fields. We have four MPs of Indian origin who, I believe, are under 40, namely Sukh Dhaliwal (Liberal) from British Columbai, (Liberal), Ruby Dhalla (Liberal, Navdeep Bains (Liberal) Ontario, Rahim Jaffer (Conservative) Calgary, The others such as Ujjal Dosanjh, Nina Grewal, Deepka Obhrai and Yasmin Ratansi are over 40. Three are women, besides one woman in the Senata. Good progress for Indian women, besides the second generation. I am equally proud of Bobby JIndal to have followed in the footsteps of Dalip Singh Saund, from California, who was elected in 1956, into the US Congress. The Indian community in Canada has matured. The future looks very bright.
