I'm sorry to hear that.
It's still helpful to look at the big picture. Many of the articles I've read have focused on whether the government has been doing enough all these years to achieve gender equality, particularly as regards more funding for first nations communities.
If the bill were passed tomorrow, what would happen to the female drug addict who was on the street corner, as Ms. Miller talked about, for instance? What would happen in her case?
The minister for Manitoba said that $20 million over 5 years amounted to roughly $200,000 for his province per year. He said he is already spending $8 million to help young addicted women who are on the streets.
What will happen to those young women? What is needed to help them in their current situations so they don't end up in the hands of procurers and pimps?
