Mr. Speaker, I was very interested to hear the speech of my colleague, especially in the area of autonomy and first nations working toward a greater independence and partnerships. My riding neighbours Kahnawake, and in recent years I have been very energized to see a number of partnerships between organizations and companies in Kahnawake and other individuals and organizations. Can my colleague please comment on this approach?

This is National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Week, which seeks to raise awareness of the critical need for more donors across the country. Every year, hundreds of Canadians die while waiting for an organ transplant. Statistics from the Canadian Institute of Health Information show that the deceased donor rates increased by 42% between 2009 and 2018. Can the Minister of Health tell the House what our government is doing to improve organ donation and transplantation in Canada?

Mr. Speaker, organizations and their volunteers are the heart of community life across Canada. They help to make our lives better, ensure a social safety net and strengthen community ties. Today, I want to mark the anniversaries of two wonderful organizations in my riding of Châteauguay—Lacolle. First, I want to wish a happy 20th anniversary to Les toits d'Émile, which was named in honour of poet Émile Nelligan. This organization has spent two decades providing people with mental illness with supervised apartments and activities to break their isolation. Next, I want to wish a happy 30th anniversary to Club des ornithologues de Châteauguay. In addition to birdwatching, members of this group also support biodiversity, rally together to protect natural environments, and set up birdhouses for nesting. I hope these organizations will be around for many years to come.
