Yes.
The government has withdrawn its support to social programs. It cut funding for women's literacy organizations. It refused to reinstate POWA, a program which helped older workers after mass layoffs. It also refused to fully retroactively pay seniors the Guaranteed Income Supplement. The government's lack of commitment to social programs has made people less competitive. It's also very well and good to lower taxes...
Ladies, I would like to know what you think about ongoing funding. There's funding, but we also need to talk about ongoing funding.
