Madam Speaker, earlier this year, when Londoner Wayne Dunn was honoured by the Governor General for his contributions to volunteerism, it came as no surprise to residents of our community. For 23 years, Wayne and the organizing committee of the Business Cares Food Drive have done extraordinary work in getting businesses together so food drives could be organized for the community, specifically in support of the London Food Bank. Just last year, almost 600,000 pounds of food was contributed. Obviously, the need is great again this year, and the work has begun. On December 1, this year's campaign began. In addition to supporting the food bank, the contributions also support local soup kitchens, school breakfast programs and drop-in programs carried out by the community. It is a wonderful thing to see. It is an example of volunteerism in action in our community and the generosity of businesses. I thank Wayne very much for all he has done for London.
