It’s reassuring that our government is taking meaningful action to protect our communities and to combat hate wherever it exists. All Ontarians deserve to feel safe in their communities and should be able to live and worship without fear that they will be targeted.

Communities in my home region of Brantford–Brant are similar to other places across Ontario where there are people from a wide variety of faiths, beliefs and backgrounds.

The people of Ontario expect that our government will continue to put measures in place that will protect their safety and security.

Speaker, can the minister please elaborate on the scope of the Anti-Hate Security and Prevention Grant and how this will benefit organizations across Ontario?
