Kevin Lamoureux Liberal
“The Conservatives ask for help with high costs, but then they vote against our plans. Our government created a permanent school food program so kids do not go hungry. Does the member agree that feeding kids at school helps families with costs?”
“Mr. Speaker, it is interesting. The Conservatives want the government to take some specific actions, yet when we take actions to support the issue of affordability, the Conservatives vote against them. Let me give a good example. I hope the member can relate to a problem that has been around for generations. When I was first elected in 1988, people were talking about children not being able to learn on empty stomachs. This Prime Minister and this government have made a permanent national food program for our schools. Does the member see it as a positive thing, on the issue of affordability, that young children have meals while they are at school?”
