Mr. Speaker, she was her mom's sunshine girl and her family's princess. When 11 year old Sandrine Craig tragically died in a school bus accident, six people received her organs and tissue, generously donated by Sandrine's mother Diane and her brother Kenny. They gave new hope to six other families.
Sandrine's family and friends also initiated Sandrine's Gift of Life, a national donor awareness campaign, to increase the number of people who sign donor cards and to encourage them to share their wishes with their families.
Since then, donor cards have been distributed across the country. Diane Craig is co-chairing the campaign with broadcaster Don Cherry and the Hon. Gib Parent, former speaker of this House, both of whom have been personally touched by organ donation.
During this National Organ and Tissue Donor Awareness Week, everyone should talk to their family and friends about organ donation; someone's life depends on it.
