Replying to Costas Menegakis (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, the Liberals want to talk about these fancy big things. It is a complete disconnect from the reality we see. Food banks have 2.2 million people visiting them every month. In Richmond Hill, a municipality that the hon. member and I have the huge honour of sharing the responsibility of representing in this House, the Richmond Hill Community Food Bank has record numbers of visitors. I wonder if the member can tell us what he is hearing in the community about the fact that Canada is not number one, not number two and not number three, but in fact the very last of all G7 countries in terms of food affordability.”

Mr. Speaker, Claims · 131 wordsthe member and I have both visited the Richmond Hill Community Food Bank, ¹and have seen the conditions that everyday Canadians in Richmond Hill are facing. The facts prove what we are seeing on the ground.Unearned certainty Canadian households now carry the highest debt in the G7.² We have the least affordable housing in the G7, the highest food inflation in the G7, the lowest investment per worker in the G7, the second-lowest productivity in the G7 and the second-highest unemployment in the G7.³ It really pains me to see that we live in a G7 country with food banks that are busting through the seams with people lining up, and the food banks are running out of food. That is the Canada that this Liberal government has delivered after 11 years.⁴
