Leslyn Lewis Conservative
“People in my riding and across Canada are struggling to afford both heat and healthy food. Even families where both parents work are using food banks. We must do something to make life more affordable.”
“Madam Speaker, unfortunately, the economic issues in my riding are very similar to the economic issues in many ridings in the country. People are making tough decisions: Do they turn up the heat in their home, or do they make sure they put a meal on the table for their family that has sufficient nutrients in it to feed and energize their family? These are the tough decisions that people are making. Some families line up at food banks. These include families with two working parents who just cannot make ends meet. We have to do something to make life more affordable for average Canadians.”
