STATEMENT BY NDP HEALTH CRITIC ON THE DEATH OF AIDS CONFERENCE DELEGATES
NDP Health Critic Libby Davies (Vancouver East) made the following statement from the International AIDS Conference in Melbourne, Australia:
“The terrible tragedy of all those who lost their lives in yesterday’s Flight MH17 has sent shockwaves around the world.
“With regard to the AIDS researchers and activists who were among the victims, this is an incalculable loss to the global HIV/AIDS community. So many people who have dedicated their life’s work to research, advocacy, and support for those living with HIV/AIDS are now gone. At this conference, the loss will be deeply felt by all.
“In the spirit of solidarity, unity and love, we will honour their dedication to humanity and strive to make this world a healthier place. That is how we can pay tribute to them.
“I express my deepest sympathy to the families, friends, and colleagues of those who lost their lives.”

Ms. Libby Davies (Vancouver East, NDP):
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Canadian Cancer Society’s Daffodil Day.
Every three minutes cancer claims another Canadian, and April is the month to fight back. While treatment and therapies have never been better, we must all continue to do our part to prevent, empower and inform Canadians about this disease.
Every one of us knows someone who has been affected by cancer. My partner of 24 years was one such person, and his memory is very much a part of the work I do. I know I am joined by my colleagues and all Canadians in remembering our friend and our great leader, Jack Layton.
For more than 50 years, Canadians have worn this bright daffodil to honour and show support to those living with cancer and to remember those who have died.
This Friday, April 27, let us all commit to strive for a healthier world to reduce the risk of cancer.
