Thank you to all the witnesses for being with us today. I'd like to start with some questions for Mr. Vansintjan at Food Secure Canada, because we've heard a lot in our pre-budget consultations about food security. Certainly, in my own community, and I know in communities across the country, access to affordable food is a pressing issue for Canadians in this moment. I was interested to see that
That's helpful. Thank you. I'm sorry to cut you off, but my time is limited and I want to ask some questions of Ms. Higgins. You made a compelling case around global development assistance. I'm curious. With respect to sustainable development goals, I think it's fair to say that we are seeing a retrenchment of and a disinvestment in global assistance among high-income countries in general in
That's helpful. Thank you. I would like to move to our friends from the Ontario Federation of Indigenous Friendship Centres. I have a wonderful friendship centre in my community, the Native Canadian Centre of Toronto, that does a wide range of inspiring work, so I was really glad to see the announcement of stable and sustained funding that allows it and other friendship centres to plan for the
Thank you all so much for being here. It's an honour to have such distinguished guests at the committee this morning. I wanted to begin by asking some questions of President Obed. Thank you for the work of ITK and the inspirational leadership that you provide. I note that your budget submission from last year, like your budget submission from this year, as I understand, has a focus on, among
I'll cede my 15 seconds. Thank you.
Thank you.
Madam Speaker, I think the member opposite's question is an important one. There are, of course, all kinds of federal benefits that over time might be appropriate to consider as part of the automatic tax filing and automatic benefits suite of services. We are beginning this responsibly as a pilot to understand what it takes to undertake this work on behalf of low-income people in Canada. We are
Prime Minister Madam Speaker, thehas spoken passionately about his commitment to ensuring that Canadians have access to the critical public services they need. In my home province of Ontario, luckily there are not seniors cutting pills in half, because all seniors are covered by the provincial public drug plan. However, it is true that there are people across the country who continue to struggle
What we know, Madam Speaker, is that what we call the determinants of health involve more than just the care that Canadians receive at the doctor's office or at a hospital. Above all, the foundations of the determinants of health have to do with the underlying factors that shape health—whether it be economic well-being, nutrition, housing, or the environment. That is why I wanted to come here and
Edmonton West Madam Speaker, I will be sharing my time today with the member for. I am very pleased to take part in today's debate on this bill, which affects all Canadians, including the people of my riding, University—Rosedale, in downtown Toronto, where the issue of affordability is of great concern to us. Like all members of the House, I spent my summer listening to my constituents. At the
Mr. Speaker, coercive control is a pattern of abusive behaviour used to isolate and intimidate, often before or alongside physical violence. In every one of our communities today, women are being subjected to humiliation, isolation and financial and verbal abuse, which often escalate to physical and sexual violence. C-16 Our government is taking action. Can the Minister of Justice tell the House
Thank you. I want to pick up on the question of the union and your workers because my understanding is that Canada Post is looking at some pretty high employee turnover in the not-too-distant future, with a very large proportion, almost half, of your workforce being within 10 years of retirement. These are good jobs. They're good jobs for Canadians. I have certainly seen, in my riding and in my
Right, but I think from our perspective, on all sides of the House, we're concerned about affordability and about ensuring that Canadians can make ends meet. One of the most important ways we can do that is to ensure that people are employed in good work with decent compensation and good benefits so that they can make ends meet. I salute you for reaching that negotiated settlement. I think it's
I'm sorry. Thank you, Mr. Chair, for your accommodation.
