In September, the federal government announced it was investing $60 million for a pilot project that aimed to improve affordability and accessibility to essential menstrual products.
asserted
that → announce → products
In Prime Minister Mark Carney’s second federal budget announced Thursday, it noted that it is advancing gender equality “by supporting the health, well-being, safety and economic and social participation of women, girls and gender-diverse people.”

population → say → progress
A third person commented: “I knew this was Canada before I got to the part that said it,” while another added, “At least they’ve included women and girls.”
asserted
they → comment → women
Many Canadians are struggling to make ends meet — food bank usage has hit record highs and average hourly wages have not kept up with inflation, and like the rest of the world, the rising price of fuel has made everything, from gas to groceries, more expensive.
asserted
everything → struggle → groceries
The latest fiscal plan will boost spending on arts, culture and homelessness while adding tens of millions more in new expenditures.
asserted
plan → boost → expenditures
While building national sovereignty is “the next big step in our action plan,” Carney said, he noted his government’s budget “focuses on growth” and “on people.”
asserted
budget → build → people
Canada’s independence is Carney’s priority, but for many Canadians, the cost of living is top of mind, and addressing the basics like putting food on tables should outweigh foreign trade missions.
asserted
addressing → address → missions
