#AgingParents in #Manitoba may lose the ability to apply for #FinancialAid from their children under provincial #legislation that's been on the books for almost a century — but which hasn't changed the amount of aid available in that time.

Good morning from #ottawa Last night in the Senate Chamber I spoke to #BillC5, which deals with mandatory minimum sentences - a speech inspired, inspired, in part, by the story of a woman I met while I was touring federal women’s prison in #Edmonton.
