Mr. Speaker, in April, we wear daffodils as a symbol of hope for all those affected by cancer. Many families have been touched by cancer.
Daffodil Month brings Canadians together in that shared hope. Across the country, Canadian researchers are advancing new immune therapies and treatments.
Let us recognize the nurses and doctors across Canada who are working hard to support patients every day. In Sunnybrook, Dr. Arjun Sahgal and his team are treating cancer patients with advanced radiation technologies. Dr. Helena MacKay and her team are also improving cancer care with the new drug therapies.
I want to recognize local organizations such as Cancer Warriors, the Walnut Foundation, the Terry Fox Foundation and Canadian Cancer Society, along with the volunteers who are working hard on the ground.
Let us continue the fight so that, one day, we can live in a world free of cancer.
