Thank you, Minister.

Budget 2021 has set aside specific funding allocation towards programming for men and boys. I believe this is the first time we are prioritizing this group in the work of preventing and addressing gender-based violence.

Could you speak to why this grew to be such a significant priority in the work you do?
