Mr. Speaker, October 24 marks Brain Cancer Awareness Day in Canada. Thanks to the Hats for Hope campaign, this date has become a symbol of solidarity in response to this devastating disease. Every day is a struggle for patients, but support and hope grow every year. Tomorrow, let us wear a toque or hoodie, take a photo, share it on social media and be a bearer of hope. It is an opportunity to pay tribute to all those who bravely face brain tumours, like my beloved mother. I am making this statement in her memory. This life-altering disease can impair vision and hearing and affect memory, balance and mobility, leaving lasting physical and emotional scars. I want to thank the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada for its hard work in helping patients and families and in advancing the search for cures.
