Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) has suspended Global Health Imports Corporation from participating in federal procurement, effective November 22, 2024.
The Honourable Marci Ien, Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Youth, supported by federal cabinet Ministers, issued a statement today to urge everyone to “Come Together, Act Now” to end gender-based violence in Canada.
This week is National Addictions Awareness Week, a time for Canadians to learn more about substance use and addiction and how we can support people looking for help.
“Gender-based violence is among the most pervasive violations of human rights worldwide. Women and girls are subjected to particularly high rates of violence at home, online and in public and political spaces. When women who are politicians, activists or human rights defenders face violence, their right to safety is violated and democracy is threatened. Amid a growing global backlash against women’s and girls’ rights, Canada is working to protect civic space and promote women’s full participation in public life.
Today, the Honourable Bill Blair, Minister of National Defence of Canada, and the Honourable Richard Marles, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence of Australia, released a joint statement on a new agreement to collaborate on research on emerging missile threat defence.

National Housing Day is an important reminder that every Canadian deserves a place to call home. A home connects us to the communities where we live and work and gives us the stability to grow and thrive. It’s a place where we can feel safe and take care of our family, friends, and neighbours.
