Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, Senator.
I want to talk about some of the fantastic volunteer organizations. A lot of volunteerism is going on in the country, and a lot of the work is run by them, and I want to say thank you.
My riding is a high-needs community and has many newcomers. Help provided by volunteers is really what's keeping the community going. We have volunteers who help, even in my office, with case work in immigration and everything we're doing. We have the Tamil seniors, the Malvern Tamil Seniors, the Scarborough Tamil Seniors. The Islamic Foundation runs a weekly soup kitchen. The Muslim Welfare Centre runs shelters, free health clinics for asylum seekers and refugees. There's the Chinese Cultural Centre.... I could keep going. There are so many organizations doing a lot of good work in my community.
My question to you is, how will the voluntary sector benefit from the designation of National Philanthropy Day?
