Jasraj Hallan Conservative
“Food bank use has doubled since 2019, and one in three food banks is turning people away. Government plans will not fix this. Conservatives put forward a motion for the government to admit Canada is in an affordability crisis. I want to know if the Liberals will vote for it.”
“Mr. Speaker, not a single one of the things that he listed is going to take a single person out of the food bank lineups that are at record usage. Food bank lineups are getting longer. In fact, since 2019, under these guys, food bank lineups have doubled. Now we find out that one in three food banks is actually turning people away because they do not have food or resources to keep up with the demand. That is the Liberal record. Today, Conservatives have put forward a motion in this House for the incompetent Liberal government to finally admit that, after 11 years of its failed policies, Canada is in an affordability crisis. Will the Liberals vote in favour of it, yes or no?”
