Can the committee clarify how this interacts with existing legislation on the same subject?

I support this bill, but please make sure the funding is ring-fenced so it actually reaches the people.

Good initiative. Please include rural areas explicitly in the implementation plan.
- Victor O.Imosupport
This is long overdue. My community has waited years for this and I hope the House passes it quickly.
