Mr. Speaker, for 40 years, the Organisation québécoise des personnes atteintes du cancer, or OQPAC, has been helping people in the Quebec City area and their loved ones cope with this terrible disease. OQPAC is a welcoming place dedicated to supporting, listening to and providing emotional relief to people who are too often left to fend for themselves as they deal with cancer and the distress it causes. Very few organizations focus their activities and services on the specific needs of cancer patients and their loved ones. OQPAC does it magnificently. In 2022 and 2023, OQPAC helped more than 3,000 people. Imagine how many people have received its help over the past 40 years through a range of activities and programs, as well as group and one-on-one therapy. I would like to congratulate the dedicated members of the board of directors, the volunteers and executive director Francis Lemieux. Long live OQPAC.
