What I was sharing earlier with the committee is that our investments to end gender-based violence are through our national action plan to end gender-based violence. We put forth $539 million that we committed in budget 2022. We're three years into that plan. Through our investments already of $225 million.... I was sharing earlier that $1.3 billion is what the provinces and territories have been able to put forward. It's incredible what this has done. We're talking about 27,400 prevention resources that have been accessed, whether that's counselling, housing—which the member was asking about—legal information or crisis supports, which are vitally important.
The member is from Scarborough North, and I just want to share a positive story of just how many families in the member's riding really rely on these types of supports. Through a women's program, we invested $280,000 into the Homeward Family Shelter in Scarborough North to help strengthen its work and make sure that women and families can continue getting the support they need close to home. The impact of that support is very real for women on the ground in Scarborough. It helps women facing crisis and instability to access housing, connect with community-based supports or get help navigating through the barriers that often stand in the way of the type of stability that women need, whether that's income security, employment or child care—the list goes on—so I give a shout-out to the Homeward Family Shelter in Scarborough North for their good work.
