Mr. Speaker, November 13 will mark the 20th anniversary of OVPAC, the Valleyfield organization for cancer patients.
This organization has been recognized since 1984 for its devotion to the cause of cancer and the quality of the services it provides to people with cancer. In addition to helpful services, it takes over 500 patients a year to Montreal area hospitals for treatment.
One person who has devoted himself selflessly in these efforts is Réal Sarrault, who was only forced to give up during his final battle with his own cancer.
It is an honour for me today to pay tribute to all the men and women who, day in and day out, work in solidarity with their fellow citizens who are battling cancer. There is no limit to the generosity of heart of the OVPAC volunteers.
