“The Bloc Québécois supported my bill for a school food program, but then they voted against funding it permanently. This budget also helps seniors pay for groceries. Why does the Bloc Québécois support help for families sometimes, but vote against it at other times?”
“Mr. Speaker, in the last Parliament, I introduced a bill in the House to create a school food program. Every Bloc Québécois member voted in favour of the bill. We now have a school food program across Canada. During consideration of the latest budget, the Bloc Québécois voted against the measure that would make this program permanent. The member mentioned seniors. The Canada groceries and essentials benefit will help some seniors get through these tough times. Why does the Bloc Québécois sometimes vote in favour of certain measures that benefit families, yet suddenly vote against other such measures when it comes time to help those who need it most?”
