Mr. Garfield Dunlop (Simcoe North): I too would like to congratulate the London Knights on a wonderful victory.

On Saturday, May 28, I had the privilege of participating in the first annual Ride for Dad prostate cancer awareness program. It was held in north Simcoe county. It took off from the Ontario Provincial Police general headquarters, and over 500 powerful motorcycles toured throughout north Simcoe promoting awareness and raising funds for prostate cancer research. As I said earlier, they call it the Ride for Dad. I was happy to see participants from all over Simcoe county, as well as a number of people from throughout the province, participating in this wonderful event.

There are a lot of people I'd like to thank. First of all, I'd like to thank Commissioner Gwen Boniface and the people at the general headquarters of the OPP for allowing the facility to be used as the starting point, and all the media, who drew a lot of attention to the event as well. The key point here is that in Simcoe county we're desperately lobbying the provincial government for funding for a Cancer Care Ontario unit. Any funding that will help with prostate cancer research will make this unit even more viable. The county of Simcoe is growing at a fairly alarming rate, and we know that the Royal Victoria Hospital in Barrie would like to be the site of a Cancer Care Ontario unit in the future.

I want to thank all those who participated in the event. On Friday night alone, they raised over $30,000 from people registering. I haven't heard the final outcome, but I can guarantee that it will be somewhere between $50,000 and $60,000. I want to congratulate all those who participated and organized the event.
