Mr. Speaker, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and I would like to take this opportunity to highlight an important organization. Pink in the City has been supporting breast cancer awareness for over 17 years. On October 27, Pink in the City will be hosting its annual magic of hope gala in my riding of Vimy. To date, it has raised over $2 million for cancer research, state-of-the-art medical equipment and programs that promote wellness and research for metastatic breast cancer. Breast cancer can affect us all, our mothers, our sisters and our daughters. In Canada, one in eight women is at risk of developing breast cancer in her lifetime. We know that the key to treatment is early detection. It is important that we support those around us and do everything we can to prevent it. I encourage all members to do whatever they can to support the fight against breast cancer this month and year-round.
