Prime minister delivers $1-B plan to tackle homelessness, mental health in Manitoba
Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a $1 billion plan to tackle homelessness and mental health in Manitoba. The funding, part of a national $30 billion effort, aims to end homelessness within 10 years. A new centre for mental health and addictions in Winnipeg is expected to open within three years, with the provincial government to operate the facility and the city and province to identify land for 2,000 housing units.
Premier Wab Kinew praised the prime minister's ambitious plan, stating, "No one in a country as rich as Canada should ever be homeless."
