Mr. Speaker, the second Thursday in October is World Sight Day, a day to raise awareness of the importance of eye health. With one blind grandmother and two blind great-grandmothers, my father feels there is a sword of Damocles hanging over his head. The same goes for my youngest son and several members of my family. By developing our knowledge about what affects our vision, we will hopefully be able to prevent many sight-related diseases. By being more aware of the day-to-day challenges facing people born with a visual impairment, we will all be able to understand them better and do more for them, as well as support research aimed at alleviating those challenges. Let us all increase our awareness and work together to make life easier and simpler for people living with vision loss. I hope everyone has a good World Sight Day.
