00:00:51.360 It included $2 million in funding for the Ottawa Police Services to help combat the gang- and

00:00:59.580 This budget will also mean great things, not just for the residents of Carleton, but for

00:01:07.800 Not only that, Mr. Speaker, the province has also promised to contribute funding towards

00:01:17.340 committed to help the Ottawa Hospital with the expansion of the Civic Campus expanded
00:01:21.020 to open by 2026. With that, I want to thank the Minister of Finance and its Parliamentary
