Dominique Vien Conservative
“Quebec food banks are overwhelmed, and more families cannot afford basic needs. I want the government to adopt our plan to remove taxes on diesel.”
“Mr. Speaker, Quebec’s food banks are overwhelmed. They are now handling a record number of requests for food assistance—more than three million every month. That is a 44% increase over the past five years. One in three children relies on food banks. Vulnerable households now spend 112% of their disposable income just on food, housing and transportation. Will this government adopt our plan to scrap taxes on diesel? It is very simple.”
