I join Canadian Centre for Caregiving Excellence in celebrating Budget 2024's commitment to a National Caregiving Strategy. Thank you to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland for championing care. I'm committed to working alongside esteemed colleagues to develop the strategy.
