“A record 2.4 million people visited food banks in one month, and a third of them were children. Canadians are working hard but falling behind. I want the Prime Minister to explain why working hard is no longer enough to support a family.”
“Mr. Speaker, there are 2.4 million food bank visits in a single month. That is the highest ever recorded in this country, and one in three is for a child. What greater failure of a government’s economic record is there than that a parent who works all day still cannot provide for their children? After more than a year and a half under the Liberal Prime Minister, Canadians are working harder but falling further behind. Will the Prime Minister explain why, in a country such as Canada, honest work is no longer enough to provide for one’s family?”
