We lag behind countries such as Spain, Portugal, the U.S., France, Belgium, Italy, Australia, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. We lag behind these countries with regard to our human organ procurement and our transplant success.
I have to give a lot of credit to the Province of Ontario, though. They have the Trillium Gift of Life organ donation and procurement system in place here. What they are doing here is a model that other provinces should be encouraged to follow and implement. Here the role of a federal government is to encourage other provinces to get on board, to develop positive systems to put it in place, and to have perhaps an overarching umbrella. The federal government should help these provinces and these silos—basically, these transplant silos—work together in order to have a robust system throughout Canada.
