Sandra Cobena Conservative
“The government's plans are not working. Canadians visit food banks 2.4 million times a month, and one-third of those visits are for children. The government should measure success by how many people no longer need help. I want the government to explain why hard work is no longer enough to support a family.”
“Mr. Speaker, the member says that they are working, but the reality is that whatever they are doing is, in fact, not working, not when there are 2.4 million visits to a food bank in a single month and one in three of them is for children. I would encourage the member to stop measuring success by how many Canadians need government assistance, and start measuring by how many no longer do. Therefore I ask again, why, after 11 years of the Liberal government, honest hard work is no longer enough to provide for one’s family.”
