Mr. Speaker, April is Be a Donor Month. Communities and advocates across Ontario are encouraging people to register for organ and tissue donation. There are more than four million people across the province who have already registered, starting in my riding of Nickel Belt. One organ donor can save eight lives, enhancing the lives of up to 75 people through tissue donation. Currently, about 1,300 people in Ontario are waiting for a life-saving organ transplant. On April 7, we marked Green Shirt Day in order to pay tribute to Logan Boulet, who became an organ donor following the tragic Humboldt Broncos bus accident in 2018. I would like to thank Logan and all those who have given the gift of life. I would also like to thank the volunteers and staff at the Trillium Gift of Life Network for their work, as well as Canadian Blood Services of Greater Sudbury for its ongoing awareness activities.
