Mr. Speaker, after 10 years of cuts by the Harper Conservatives, organizations serving women and girls were destabilized.
Our government listened to Canadians and invested in ensuring that survivors of gender-based violence have the supports they need. It is unfortunate that even in the wake of #MeToo and evidence that has been shared again and again, we see the Ford government repeat the Harper playbook, and we see our Conservative colleagues and even the NDP voting to de-fund women's organizations.
Canadians deserve a government committed to ensuring that survivors have a place to go when they need the supports they need. We are committed to that work.
