Oakville MP Terence Young spoke about Smyth and his goal during Question Period, earlier this month, concluding his remarks by asking those present to attend a bone marrow donor clinic being held at the House of Commons later that day. Mr. Speaker, today members of Parliament and staff have the opportunity to save a life. I and the member from Kildonan-St. Paul (Joy Smith) are spon- soring the OneSwab, OneMatch, OneLife Cheek Swab EventThe simple painless test collects cheek cells from inside the mouth and a genetic match might save someone suffering from a blood-related, genetic or metabolic disease. We believe that if Canadians knew that then the 260,000 Canadian samples in the world- wide database would grow to millions, said Young. My constituent, 20- year-old David Smyth courageously spent the last few weeks of his life this summer, while bat- tling leukemia, working to increase the number of Canadians on the OneMatch network. Davids legacy will live through the actions of Canadians today who reg- ister as potential stem cell donors. I urge all Canadians who are in good general health to take this simple pledge and become a hero to someone in need today. These words, spoken before Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, Opposition Leader Michael Ignatieff and many others, and the applause that followed brought tears to the eyes of Smyths parents Mike and Kim who journeyed to Ottawa to attend the clinic that was being held in their sons honour. David was mentioned in the House of Commons, said Mike, choking back tears. I looked at Kim and we were crying. Following Question Period, Mike said Young introduced Kim and himself to the head of Canada Blood Services, the organ- ization responsible for holding the cheek swab clinics, and MP Joy Smith, whose husband had been the recipient of a bone marrow transplant after being diagnosed with lymphoma cancer. Mike and Kim were also introduced to Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq, who offered them her condolences for the loss of their son. After that Aglukkaq and her staff and numerous other federal ministers, MPs and staff attended the cheek swab clinic and were tested. While Mike did not know how many people were tested in total, he called the clinic a suc- cess. The success at this clinic and the heavy attendance at other recent clinics have been well received by Smyths family. David wanted people to be aware and that seems to be happening, said Mike, who also told Aglukkaq that some changes need to take place. Any one of us could save a life and I told her that as were telling people this everyone is saying, Where do I go. There is a lot of support and I told her that Canada Blood Services may need resources to help manage this inflow of attention. Theres a lot of people that are calling them now and you cant actually go to any of their operations. There are only clinics like the one being held here (House of Commons). We need to have these (perma- nently) at their offices across Canada. Grieving families shouldnt be organizing clinics to save their child because there is no place to go. Mike is hoping to see the Canadian bone marrow registry grow to two million in two years.
