Thank you so much, Sonia, for the question. It's an important one.
I know that so many women, when we saw the leaked Roe v. Wade.... We're not sure if it's a decision yet, but when we saw that leaked, it took us aback. There are no borders when it comes to that. Women here in Canada felt that pain and marched in our streets. We have to understand that a threat to rights anywhere, including our friends to the south, is a threat to women's rights everywhere.
It is simple for us and our government, Sonia. Individuals alone hold the right to make decisions about their own bodies. Limitations placed on this right are absolutely unacceptable. Access to basic health care is not a matter of debate. Our government is deeply invested in creating an equal and inclusive society that reflects that in terms of maintaining the right to choose.
Our message has been clear from the very beginning. The right to an abortion and access to abortion—access was at the heart of your question—go hand in hand. Every person in our country should have access to safe, equitable and consistent health care services. Through $45 million in sexual and reproductive health, a fund that we have, we're making sure that Canadians facing obstacles in accessing reproductive health care are supported financially.
Organizations on the ground that are providing these essential services, which is what's important here, are provided with vital capacity funding. We are hearing from our stakeholders on what they need. They serve communities whether they are urban, whether they are rural or whether they are indigenous, and they are telling us what's necessary and how they can serve better. We're listening. Our government is deeply invested in creating an equal and inclusive society. That includes continuing, always, to protect the right to choose.
