“When women and gender-diverse people face barriers or violence, it hurts our whole economy. Groups that help them need stable funding. Our budget is finally giving them this money, despite Conservative delays. Can the minister explain how this funding will help these groups across Canada?”
“Mr. Speaker, when women and gender-diverse Canadians face barriers to entering the workforce, accessing leadership opportunities or living free from violence, it does not just impact individuals; it holds back the entire economy and our communities. Organizations across Canada are working every day to support survivors, expand opportunities and build safer, more inclusive communities, but they need stable and timely support. After obstruction from the Conservatives, our budget is now delivering support for these organizations. Can the Minister of Women and Gender Equality update the House on how these investments will strengthen support across Canada?”
