Mr. Speaker, today, from sea to sea, the Canadian Cancer Society will start knocking on the nation's doors.
Thousands of volunteers will be out in all of Canada's residential neighbourhoods collecting donations for the Canadian Cancer Society.
Each year, the campaign starts with Daffodil Day, which is held on different dates in different regions.
Daffodils are flowers of joy. They symbolize our hope to find a cure to this devastating disease that affects so many Canadians. Daffodils show cancer patients and their loved ones that we care and we are all fighting for a cure.
The Canadian Cancer Society is a national volunteer organization. I congratulate all volunteers and members of this community-based organization whose mission is to eliminate cancer and also to improve the quality of life of people with cancer and their family members.
I ask all parliamentarians and all Canadians to support the efforts of the Canadian Cancer Society. Together let us find a cure.
