I begin by acknowledging your leadership and contribution in this space, Deputy Speaker Freelander. You have played a very significant role both in our caucus and in this parliament more broadly in raising awareness around this issue. Your background as a medical professional or as a doctor gives you a credibility and a knowledge that you have so generously shared with us about the opportunity of organ donation. I know that you worked with others across this parliament but you particularly deserve recognition for the work you do, and thanks from all of us who care very deeply about this issue.
