So there's been lots of talk in the past few days about women's groups that have been de-funded by the Conservative government and debate about why they are losing their funding. Last night on CBC's Power and Politics, Conservative MP Candace Hoeppner said the government was simply being more "focused" in their approach to funding groups.
The Liberals, not surprisingly, don't see it that way and have been working on a list of groups they say are losing their money because they don't share the government's ideology (not all the groups themselves agree with this characterization). But along with handing out that list, they have also added a list of groups and programs that are getting government grants. Let's be clear, this list is not complete in any way. In fact, it could be said to be quite selective. But the Liberals point out it still offers an "interesting" contrast.
A spokesperson for the office of the leader of the opposition says that they'll let the public be the judge of the list, one they compiled (he says) through some simple Google searches.
