We already are: The national action plan to end gender-based violence is a replenishment of funds. It's a continuation of our work.
When you talk about that cut, I say, listen, emergency funding is emergency funding, and that was in the context of the pandemic, Bonita. During the pandemic, which was qualified as and is an emergency, we stepped up and said, “Immediately, $300 million is going out to make sure shelters have exactly what they need in this situation.”
The action plan, with half a billion dollars behind it, picks up on this, and I can tell you that shelter organizations are benefiting in 10 provinces—and we've made these announcements—including in my province of Ontario. I was meant to be in your province today, but because of said votes that Andréanne so eloquently talked about, I will not be travelling. I was meant to sign into.... Well, we have signed the agreement, but I was meant to announce tomorrow morning in B.C., because your province has signed on, the rollout of this part of the action plan for the province of British Columbia.
Shelters are benefiting. Organizations on the ground are benefiting, and the good thing about each province and territory is that they can map out exactly what they need, so the Province of B.C. will target what it sees and needs. It has and will put that forward in its plan. I look forward to getting there sooner rather than later.
