Madam Chair, I would appreciate it if the minister would stop politicizing the issue, hoping that Canadians think she is being sincere. A vote on supplements is not a vote by anyone in this chamber against providing support for people at risk. Votes in budgets, votes in parliamentary debate, are being stage-managed by the government.
She herself attacked my friend, the member for Calgary Centre, by saying we need action, not words, but there has been no action from that minister on women with respect to the MMIWG recommendation that I talked about in my speech, no action on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission findings. This government and that minister in particular are very good at the photo ops and feigned compassion, but very poor at follow-ups.
As I said in my remarks, I have been advocating this since 2007. I will make sure that there is action—
