yasmin-ratansi-wishes-the-aga-khan-a-happy-80th-birthday-in-cnd-parliamentOn December 7th, 2016, Yasmin Ratansi, Liberal Member of Parliament for Don Valley East rose in the Canadian Parliament to wish His Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan a happy birthday as His Highness celebrates his 80th on December 13, 2016.

 

Mr. Speaker, on December 13, His Highness the Aga Khan will be celebrating his 80th birthday.

 

For the past 60 years, His Highness has espoused the values of Islam. He has dedicated his life to improving humanity by creating ties among communities and promoting peace, diplomacy, and pluralism around the world.

 

The Global Centre for Pluralism, which he established in Canada, is critical at this particular time. As a Muslim leader, he places great emphasis on the value of a knowledge society and the role of the intellect to advance the well-being of all peoples, irrespective of their faith or conviction.

 

To quote the Hon. Adrienne Clarkson, the Aga Khan “is a man who is perhaps the only person in the world to whom everyone listens”.

 

Happy birthday, Hazar Imam. Bon anniversaire.
