Madam Speaker, Canada made a commitment to eliminate new cases of HIV by 2030. There is still time to stop the spread of HIV, which is now hitting indigenous women and other marginalized Canadians hardest. Community-based HIV organizations have laid out the necessary path in two proposals; it would cost less than $175 million.
Will the government provide the necessary funding to community-based HIV/AIDS organizations to ensure that all Canadians are able to access HIV testing and then get connected to care, or, despite its promises, is the government okay to continue to see the number of new HIV cases in Canada rise instead of falling?
