Lawmakers pay tribute to the former MP and renowned human rights advocate who died this week
MPs rose in the House of Commons this week to table a petition requesting the passage of a bill combating organ trafficking in honour of David Kilgour, a former cabinet minister and renowned human rights advocate.
Kilgour, who had a long career in politics, passed away on April 5 from a rare lung disease. He was 81.
“This horrific practice was first brought to light by former member of Parliament David Kilgour,” said Conservative MP Pat Kelly. “It is a shame that he did not live to see its passage, but I certainly hope that this bill will pass.”
