Lenore Zann, Politician

Yesterday MP Jaime Battiste and I met with three ministers in my Gov’t to tell them what I had seen and heard first-hand of that angry mob attacking FN fishers and their property on the wharf in Digby. I spoke to them for an hour about that and historic systemic racism in NS and our need to change and to uphold the Marshall Decision and come to an agreement with the Mi’kmaq about the definition of moderate livelihood and their Fishing Rights which was upheld in the Supreme ...Court of Canada. The Prime Minister and Fisheries Minister made public statements soon after that. I’m glad that both I and my colleague Jaime Battiste are in a position as NS Liberal MPs to bring the concerns of the First Nations people of NS directly to Gov’t. It makes a difference.

OTTAWA: Yesterday Prime Minister Trudeau announced an additional investment of $100 million under the Emergency Food Security Fund. This investment will help improve access to food and increase food supply for vulnerable Canadians across the country facing the impacts of the global COVID-19 pandemic,. The Government of Canada will provide this funding to national and regional organizations, who will then support food banks and local food organizations across Canada in order t...o help reach people experiencing food insecurity. As we enter a critical point in the pandemic, food banks, local food organizations, and Indigenous groups will be able to use this funding to ensure vulnerable communities continue to have access to safe, healthy, and culturally diverse food. The funding will be used to purchase and distribute food and other necessities in order to meet the urgent needs of Canadians. The funds will also be used to hire workers where volunteers are unavailable and buy personal protective equipment to help keep workers, volunteers, and visitors at food banks and local food organizations safe. Gaps in previous funding and areas of specific need are currently being assessed. We will share information regarding funding distribution in the coming weeks.

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.
