Every woman should be free to make her own decisions about her own body. Every woman in Canada should have access to the health care she needs.
| Department of Finance Canada | backgrounders
Concerns have been raised that some registered charities that offer reproductive health services to women, including pregnancy options counselling, may be spreading misinformation by presenting themselves as neutral, full-service pregnancy support service organizations when they are in fact anti-choice organizations that push women away from accessing the reproductive care of their choice.

We’re launching a $200 million regional AI initiative. The regional development agencies will help support AI start-ups to bring new technology to market. And they will help drive AI adoption by Canadian businesses across the economy. I do want to say to Canadian businesses who are excited about the benefits of AI in their businesses, please think about using a Canadian AI company when you are using AI in your business. This is a great strength we have; take advantage of the great AI companies we have here at home.

We’ve been through a tough time. When COVID first hit, our country suffered the deepest recession since the Great Depression. Our economy shrank by 17 per cent and it’s been tough getting out of that. In recent weeks, we’ve had some good news. What we’ve been seeing is light at the end of the tunnel. We are approaching a soft landing for the Canadian economy after the turbulence of the COVID recession and what followed.
