Mr. Speaker, philanthropy is something that many Canadians from coast to coast to coast contribute to every day of the year. What the bill is attempting to do is to recognize, on November 15, the efforts of those people who give generously with caring hearts. What we are asking for is that this November 15 be the very first day. That is the reason we hope the bill will pass, the sooner the better.
With those few words, I appeal to members, in particular to those in the New Democratic Party, to allow it to go through.
