Idea Submission for The People's Money:
We hope that the government increases funding towards health and wellness initiatives, education and social services, as well as public safety. These elements are critical to invest in to ensure a good quality of life for new immigrants and senior citizen. We also want the government to increase the construction of affordable housing, and offer some employment opportunities for seniors as well, to give them a greater sense of economic security and agency such as cleaners for civic buildings, or maintenance work at local libraries.
What is the problem your idea aims to address?
Public safety is the overriding concern. Without safety in the public sphere, it becomes impossible to live one's life in peace. Good health and wellness are the bare minimum people need to lead fulfilling lives. Social services are something we as seniors greatly rely on, so we hope the government continues to invest. However, education is the future of our country, and needs more investment too!
