Mr. Speaker, that response did not respect the seriousness of what is going on and the dire situation going on.
I want to take a moment to talk about one of the premier events in Toronto, something that many people come to. It brings millions of people together and creates thousands of jobs. It is the Toronto Caribbean Carnival. It is one of the most important events in Toronto, but sadly, because of Liberal government underfunding, this festival is at serious risk.
Will the Prime Minister commit today to the appropriate level of funding to protect this vital festival, which celebrates Caribbean culture and the Caribbean diaspora in the GTA?
