Shannon Stubbs Conservative
“Food bank visits just hit a record high, and many people using them have jobs. Working Canadians cannot afford to feed their families, but their bills keep going up. I want the government to explain what it will do for working people who cannot afford food.”
“Madam Speaker, Food Banks Canada just reported a record 2.3 million visits in one month, up 117% since 2019, with nearly 800,000 by children, and one in five visitors has a job. Think about that. Working Canadians cannot afford to feed themselves or their families. Meanwhile, Liberal announcements keep piling up, but so do all the bills. Canadians cannot take another Liberal promise to the checkout counter. After 11 years in power, what do the Liberals have to say to working Canadians who have done everything right and still cannot afford to eat?”
