I want to thank my friend and colleague from Brampton North for his support of victims and victim services organizations from around Ontario. We recently had an event and we had colleagues from all parties there to celebrate the individuals and the groups that are supporting victims of crime. People have their own personal experiences, and sometimes that motivates them to increase awareness.

I want to focus on just one today that happens to be in the gallery. I introduced them earlier: the Seasons Centre for Grieving Children. For over 25 years, with no government funding, they have provided services for children between the ages of 5 and 24 who have experienced a death of a parent or a sibling. It’s exactly those types of people and those types of organizations that deserve the victims awards they’ve been bestowed with.

I’d like to thank the member from University–Rosedale for her presentation. I did take note that during her presentation, she did speak about the need for strengthening protections for tenants.

In fact, in the past, our government has brought in measures to strengthen protections for tenants. For example, we increased fines for bad landlords, and we also took action to prevent evictions. The opposition did choose to vote against those measures, which is truly unfortunate.

But this time, we do have an opportunity to work together and support measures that will once again provide better protections for tenants in this province. So my question to the member is, will you join us in supporting these enhanced protections, or will you continue to oppose them?
