Mr. Speaker, I am not aware of any specific awards such as the one I am proposing. April is Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Month, which was created through the effort of some NGOs in their jobs, trying to bring awareness. I continue to help and to support their initiative; however, I believe we need to do more.
We need to recognize and bring awareness to Canadians about how important it is to have more living donors so we can reduce the 4,700 cases, which, by the way, have been in the system since I introduced my first bill 10 years ago to establish an organ donor registry in Canada. The legislation did not make it through, but I am hopeful the bill before us will be a successful attempt to bring more awareness and make sure Canadians understand that it is an important thing. It would be recognized publicly.
