Mr. Speaker, as national co-chair, along with Sandrine's mother Diane and broadcaster Don Cherry, I would like to thank my colleagues who kindly supported the Sandrine family's Gift of Life organ donor campaign.
Regardless of whether people have signed an organ donor card, their families can override their wishes. However, it has been shown that speaking to family members doubles the chance that their final wishes will be fulfilled.
I am sure that my colleagues will join with me in urging all Canadians to talk to their families about this important decision. By doing so they will honour the memory of 11 year old Sandrine Craig, whose death has inspired this national campaign.
