    COVID-19 Emergency ResponseMs. Leah Gazan (NDP) asked Ahmed Hussen (Liberal). substantive question.The answer highlights past $350 million funding but provides no commitment to ongoing support after March 31.That is why, very early during the pandemic, we provided an emergency community support fund in the amount of $350 million, so that those organizations that are facing a drop in donations and a drop in the number of volunteers could continue the critical work they engage in every single day to provide goods, services, counselling and other supports to the most vulnerable members of our community.
