Mr. Speaker, tomorrow is Economic Abuse Awareness Day, a Canadian initiative that is now observed worldwide.
Economic abuse, such as restricting access to money, sabotaging employment or forcing debt, is a common form of gender-based violence. It robs people of their independence and limits their ability to build secure and fulfilling lives.
I am proud to have voted for a budget that introduces measures to combat economic abuse. Could the Minister of Finance remind those who voted against the budget what they opposed?
