Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his incredible advocacy. Canada is at its best when everyone can fully participate in society, free from fear, discrimination and hate.
As we mark the beginning of Pride season, we reaffirm our commitment to ensuring that we are protecting the Charter of Rights and Freedoms for all Canadians, regardless of who they are or whom they love. Through budget 2025, we have committed $54.6 million over five years to strengthen 2SLGBTQIA+ organizations across Canada, including $7.5 million to keep Pride festivals safe.
Happy Pride season.
