This week, I heard from the Association of Rape Crisis Centres in Israel who shared with me the incredible work they are doing with the $1 M in support that Canada pledged last year.

We will continue to support survivors.
We continue to bear witness.
We believe women.
We will not be silent.

Canadians shouldn't have to pay for the damages caused by tobacco companies.
