Madam Speaker, I really appreciated listening to what the member had to say today. I certainly share her grief over the number of people who are being attacked in this whole situation in Ukraine, which is very dear to me as my mom is from there.
She also spoke about the fact that many people are dying and drew attention to the pregnant women, who are in their most vulnerable state, who are being killed, and specifically in relation to the loss of a child in the womb in this circumstance of an illegal war. I would like to ask her, in this case, if she has that same feeling with respect to a third party attacking any woman who is pregnant and causing her to lose the child she is choosing to carry to term.

Madam Speaker, I have great concerns about the fact that we are not continuing this conversation in the House. When we look at the various scenarios where we have a lot of apprehension about the way the government has managed to bring its programs forward, I have concerns.
I hear all the time from my constituents that the Liberals put these programs out there, but they do not put the meat on the bones before they present it in this place. That is my concern. When we are talking about that kind of money, are we going to be in a circumstance like we were with CERB, where they just shut off all the checks and balances and let people apply, and then, after the fact, try to deal with the challenges? I understand that there probably are some young people falling through the cracks, but to have the federal government engaging in this way is very concerning.

Madam Speaker, Cote First Nation is in my riding and it means a great deal to me to be able to support this today. Isabella is a beautiful young woman and her parents are amazing.
As a matter of fact, Chief George and I have talked often about the things they are doing within their first nation and the work that is moving forward to make their place one that is welcoming and safe. I really respect the work they are doing, even the tiny homes that a number of them are working together to build. Those opportunities to build something give them a chance to see what they can become, a plumber, an electrician or whatever. They are engaged significantly.
I want to mention Yorkton Tribal Council, Chief Acoose, Chief George and those involved in the riding. What I hear over and over again is, “We are excited to work together to see us move forward with reconciliation.” The efforts that went into dealing with the circumstances around what Isabella faced were significant. I am excited to say, “Well done, Isabella.”
We look forward to this bill going forward.

Madam Speaker, I appreciate the conversation being held here tonight because we are aware that, even in Veterans Affairs, the government is great at preparing the money but not at getting it out the door.
There are programs already in place, as the member mentioned, in his province, as there are in ours. Does he see this as recreating something that already exists that the government simply needs to support?

Madam Speaker, I listened to the member talk about this program. He indicated how it would roll out and the different parts to it. However, having been a businesswoman in the past, what I see if we go ahead with this is we would be creating a structure that already exists across our nation within our provinces.
I would like to know from him, since he is aware of how this will work, what costs are involved for the Government of Canada in implementing and rolling out this program. There are provinces and the Northwest Territories, our whole country, that are ready to put these programs into place and to broaden it out to make sure dental care is in place across our nation for children, as well as adults who are already being taken care of across our country.
