Stephanie McLean Liberal
“Our government gave $5 million to a local food bank in the member's area to help people get healthy food. The member should tell her voters about the good programs we fund instead of just complaining here.”
“Mr. Speaker, I have spent time over the summer and the spring talking to constituents in the member’s riding. What did I hear from them? I heard back from them that we, as a government, invested $5 million in the Loaves & Fishes Community Food Bank in Nanaimo. This is a new food distribution facility on Vancouver Island. It improves year-round access to nutritious food. I wish the member would tell her constituents about the things available in her riding that are being funded and that they can count on, instead of just collecting stories for the House of Commons.”
