Alex forrest:

Today we had an announcement by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for full funding and implementation of the Public Safety Officers’ Benefit that allows for federal recognition and financial compensation to Firefighters and other Public Safety officers for deaths in the line of duty.

We have been fighting for this recognition for 24 years and we would like to thank present and past NDP MP’s who were also beside us supporting us from the first year.
