Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for this wonderful bill, which I believe everyone in this chamber should support.
There is an organization in my riding called Chain of Life. Its president and founder, Lucie Dumont, created it to promote organ donation. My colleague mentioned education. Chain of Life aims to educate young people, aged 15 to 17, in English classes and takes that opportunity to talk about this issue. This bill promotes recognition by awarding medals, but it would also help inform the public about organ donation.
I myself have signed my organ donor card, using my Quebec driver's licence. There are 800 people waiting for organ donations in Quebec.
I think this is an extraordinary initiative by my colleague.
