“Our government gives money to families and feeds about 400,000 children at school. I am disappointed that the opposition votes against programs that help families.”
“Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for his question. It gives me another opportunity today to reiterate a number of measures introduced by our government. As I said earlier, a family of four can receive up to $1,890, and a single person, up to $950. This assistance is geared to families. As I mentioned earlier, something I hold very dear deserves reiterating. I am referring to the roughly 400,000 children a year who truly benefit from Canada’s national school food program. This is the kind of practical action I am talking about. There are others, but time prevents me from listing them all. What bothers me the most, however, is seeing people on the other side of the House vote against family-oriented measures aimed at helping Canadians. That disappoints me a lot.”
