Mr. Speaker, I am very proud to be the honorary president of the Canadian Cancer Society's Relay for Life in Lotbinière/Lévis, which will take place on June 8. As a symbol of perseverance and a message of hope for those affected by cancer, participants of all ages have been joining forces and taking turns walking along a track or road since 1999. The highly anticipated event will be held at Terry Fox park in Saint-Apollinaire from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. the next morning. Funds raised are used to support innovative research into all types of cancer, provide the most extensive support network to improve the lives of people with cancer and shape public health policies. I invite all members to set up teams and walk with me at the Lotbinière/Lévis Relay for Life in support of a noble cause that is especially important to me.

Mr. Speaker, I was very proud to agree, for the second year in a row, to be the honorary chair for the Canadian Cancer Society Relay for Life in Lotbinière, which will take place on June 10. At Relay for Life events, which first began in 1999, participants of all ages gather and take turns walking around a track or path to symbolize the perseverance of those affected by cancer and to send them a message of hope. The event will take place at Terry Fox Park in Saint‑Apollinaire from seven o'clock at night until seven o'clock the next morning. The money collected goes toward supporting innovative research projects on all types of cancer, providing the largest support network to help people better manage life with cancer and shaping public health policies. I invite all members to put together a team and come walk with me at the Lotbinière Relay for Life in support of this noble cause that is very dear to my heart.

Mr. Speaker, that was actually my personal experience for a year. My wife had cancer, and I had to support her. Without the help of my whole family and our friends, we would have had a very hard time getting through a very hard year.
