Mr. Speaker, the city of Niagara Falls has proclaimed November 6 as a day celebrating the recovery of missing children.
In a ceremony on the Rainbow Bridge I accepted a plaque on behalf of the Minister of National Revenue and his staff at Canada Customs by the Independent Order of Foresters child print program. The non-profit organization accounts for over one million members in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. Its involvement comprises a great number of projects geared to help families.
I congratulate publicly the IOF and the revenue department for their devotion to the protection of children. As parents, as community leaders and as concerned citizens, we understand that nothing causes more pain and anguish than a missing child.
The minister of revenue has committed his department to the cause, but when it comes to missing children, one is too many.
