I couldn't agree more. I think it's so spectacularly important. I've had the privilege of seeing first-hand in my own community the difference it makes in not just the lives of those women but the community writ large. Frankly, oftentimes those women are some of the best tradespeople out there, because they're a bit better at attention to detail or different pieces like that. They bring a different skill set to the workplace.
In the last panel, I asked a question about the cost of living and how that is impacting shelters. Recently we've seen gas prices just skyrocket right across the country. That's having an immediate impact on a lot of shelters and their ability to operate and also on the people who are accessing those services. As Conservatives, we brought forward a proposal to immediately cut all gas taxes, which would save Canadians 25¢ a litre for the rest of the year.
Ms. Fiddes, do you believe that this would be a good temporary solution?
