cuts to public and private not for profit agencies serving vulnerable people
including children, youth, families, immigrants, those who are homeless,
un/under-employed, senior citizens, people who are disabled and those suffering
from mental illness. (Some funding programs are set to expire
increasing funding
to all HRSDC (Human Resources and Social Development Canada) and settlement
programs, including doubling the existing level of funding being provided
through the HPI (Homeless Partnerships Initiatives) program to supplement
funding that is projected to be lost from private sector sources and increase
funding levels as required.
