Warren Steinley Conservative
“Canada is in a recession and poverty is getting worse. A new report gave the country failing grades for jobs and food security, and a quarter of Canadians cannot afford enough food. I want my leader to explain how Conservative plans will fix the economy.”
“Mr. Speaker, on Friday, it was announced Canada had entered a recession and it is no coincidence that shortly thereafter, Food Banks Canada brought out its poverty report. Perhaps Liberals will not believe what we are saying about their reckless policies that are harming Canadians. The Food Bank report gave Canada an overall grade of a D+, an F for employment rate and an F for food security. Right now, one in four or 25% of Canadians are food-insecure. Can the leader talk about Conservative policies that will bring back a Canada that will work for all Canadians?”
