Stephen has been a fierce advocate for Ottawa pointing out the lack of funding for housing and homelessness in Ottawa in the recent Budget Debate.

The government originally announced $845,100 for Ottawa and sixty times more money at over $40 million for Toronto. After weeks of advocacy the Minister of Municipal Affairs & Housing came to Ottawa last week and announced $24.1 million for our city. 

You can watch Stephen debate the issue earlier this month at the YouTube link above and read the government’s announcement here.
