Jason Groleau Conservative
“People in my riding work full-time but still cannot afford to feed their children. Thousands rely on food banks each month. The government needs to use the Conservative plan to help them.”
“Mr. Speaker, they are completely disconnected from reality. I am sorry, but the minister’s answer is not going to put food on Chantal’s table. Chantal is a single mother in Saint‑Georges. She works full-time but still needs to use food banks. After she pays her rent and bills, there is not enough money left over to feed her children. Chantal is not alone. This morning, I spoke with people at Moisson Beauce and they told me that over 6,300 residents of Beauce use food banks every month. How many more families have to reach that point before the Liberals put our Conservative plan into action?”
