Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses from the Office of Infrastructure Canada for joining us today.
Back in February, 17 members of Parliament, including me and Mr. Fillmore, signed a letter in support of Ronald McDonald House Charities. The letter was sent to the Minister of Finance and cc'ed to the Minister of Infrastructure and Communities as well as the Minister of Health and the Minister of Middle Class Prosperity.
The letter explained that Ronald McDonald House Charities provide accommodation, meals, peer support and many other services to take care of an entire family while their child is being treated in a nearby hospital. Ronald McDonald House Charities were looking to expand their network of houses and services across Canada.
Maybe I missed it in the recent budget, but I didn't see anything in the budget for Ronald McDonald House Charities, so was their request formally denied or just ignored?
