On March 28, 2022, our government announced an agreement with the Province of Ontario that will deliver high-quality, affordable, flexible and inclusive child care for families.

Since then, Ontario is still in the process of developing their provincial childcare system and will be implementing it through their municipalities.

To address rising handgun violence, our government is implementing a national freeze on handguns to prevent individuals from bringing newly acquired handguns into Canada and from buying, selling, and transferring handguns within the country.

“Politicians aren’t the only community members who can demonstrate the kind of leadership that comes with taking an active part in the Run, adds Jenna Sudds, Member of Parliament for Kanata-Carleton, and another avid participant and captain in the annual Run for Women.”

When our government invoked the Emergencies Act to help end the illegal blockades and get our country moving again, we committed to Canadians that we’d be upfront and transparent about it.
