Mr. Speaker, today, March 25, is Daffodil Day.
Organized by the Canadian Cancer Society, Daffodil Day has, for almost 40 years, been a major fundraising activity for this agency, whose goal is to wipe out cancer and improve the quality of life of those who have the disease and of their families.
In Quebec alone last year, Daffodil Day raised over $1 million. It is through the continuing generosity of Quebeckers and of Canadians that the Canadian Cancer Society can provide material and psychological support for the tens of thousands of individuals struggling with this terrible disease and help fund medical research.
Let us give generously. We may think that cancer is something other people get, but life has a way of proving us wrong.
To all the Canadian Cancer Society volunteers, I say thank you for your generosity and have a great Daffodil Day.
