When we have a case where a Canadian goes abroad to receive an organ for which there isn't consent, we recognize that as feeding and supporting a great evil, which is organs being taken from people forcibly, without consent. We need legislative mechanisms such as we're discussing today to stop that.
However, I think it is reasonable and important to also think about the circumstances that put somebody in that desperate situation, which is a result of a limited supply of organs. That is why I was pleased to support your private member's initiative on this. Thank you for your good work. I was pleased to support and speak in favour of the private member's bill from our colleague Len Webber, which would put the opportunity to indicate that you are an organ donor on tax forms. This facilitates the increase in supply, as well. I was very pleased to see Mr. Webber's bill receive strong support from all parties.
There is an interest in coming at this issue from a number of different angles. It's the old question of fighting crime and fighting the causes of crime. I don't think those things are mutually exclusive. We can and should do both.
Hopefully, by coming at it from both directions, we maximize our chance of success here.
