It's a new record high, again.
More than half of patients were unhoused, again.
And frostbite diagnoses not only reached a new high, but had the biggest single-year increase in the AHS data I have, going back to 2011.

Great to have Masai Ujiri in Ottawa yesterday.
Through his work with Giants of Africa, the UN, and global partners, Masai is helping to strengthen Canada’s partnerships — while empowering and supporting Black communities across Canada.

It’s often the most vulnerable Canadians who don’t file their taxes and miss out on the benefits they need or have paid into.
So we’re introducing Automatic Federal Benefits — pre-filing taxes for up to 5.5 million lower-income Canadians.
