Congratulations Susan Holt ! Choosing to lead with hope and authenticity. Félicitations!

Great news Sean Fraser. It’s abhorrent the province won’t step up to match funds and accelerate solutions for homelessness. Just as you are working directly with us on the housing accelerator, it shows this Liberal government is focused on solutions and results.
