Madam Speaker, I absolutely agree with the member that this is long overdue.
What initiated this bill is the fact that we could not get a bill passed here in the House on creating a Canadian-wide organ and tissue donation registry because it conflicted with provincial jurisdiction. I wondered how we could help the provinces and their registries as a federal government, and this bill came to mind. We could get this question on the tax form and then share that information with the provinces throughout the country.
I certainly hope that we can get this bill passed before the summer so that we can get it implemented in the next tax season.
