Rhonda Kirkland Conservative
“Canadians are struggling to afford life. The Oshawa food bank serves over 3,600 people a month and has to turn people away because it does not have enough resources. The Liberals voted against admitting there is an affordability crisis. How can the government have a plan to fix a problem it will not admit exists?”
“Mr. Speaker, Conservatives will support measures that keep Canadians’ money in their own pockets. Just yesterday, the Liberals were the only party in the House to vote against acknowledging that Canada is in an affordability crisis. Meanwhile, families in Oshawa are living it. Over 3,600 people rely on the food bank in Oshawa every month. It has been forced to limit visits and close its doors to people who need it, because the resources are not there. How can the government claim to have a plan to fix Canada’s affordability crisis if it does not even admit there is a problem?”
