“More people in Nunavut need food support now than a few years ago. Most people there do not have enough food. I want to know why the Prime Minister thinks things are going well after 11 years in power.”
“Mr. Speaker, that was another non-answer. Joseph Murdoch-Flowers, executive director of the Qajuqturvik Community Food Centre in Iqaluit, said this week that the centre has seen its daily meal count go from around 58,000 in 2022 to almost 91,000 last year. It has served 37,000 meals so far this year in a town of 7,500 people. The Liberals have been in power for 11 years, yet 58% of people in Nunavut live in food-insecure households. After 11 years, does the Prime Minister really think Nunavut has never had it so good?”
