Mr. Speaker, I rise today to highlight how our government is delivering on our promise to build Canada strong. Through the build communities strong fund in budget 2025, communities like mine, Hamilton Centre, are already seeing real results.
The Hamilton Downtown Family YMCA, a long-standing pillar in our city, will finally receive the critical funding it needs. As the president and CEO of the YMCA, Manny Figueiredo, said, the budget will “help unlock much-needed housing in the heart of Hamilton while creating a modern, inclusive, and sustainable hub that promotes health, connection, and belonging for people of all ages.”
This is what budget 2025 delivers: a real impact for real people. While the opposition is focused on dividing Canadians, we are focused on investing in them and building stronger, safer and more connected communities.
