More tax dollars to sexual and reproductive health and rights

Minister Valdez announces $15.5 million in federal funding to strengthen national women’s organizations across Canada

"This investment will help advance the work of organizations focused on justice, leadership, sexual and reproductive health and rights, and gender-based violence. The organizations that will receive funding will be selected in the coming weeks.

The Canadian Research Institute for the Advancement of Women (CRIAW) will receive up to $1 million to collaborate with other national women’s organizations, as well as key stakeholders beyond the women’s sector. This initiative will support a more sustainable and coordinated sector that is better positioned to advance action on persistent gender inequalities over the long term."

What nonsense. Our government already gives way too much funding to women's organizations. Why are we giving more? How about we pay down our massive debt instead?
