Adam van Koeverden Liberal
“Canadians need real solutions to end poverty. Experts reject the Conservatives' ideas, and Food Banks Canada did not include any Conservative ideas in its hunger report. The Conservatives have also voted against affordable housing for seven years. They should look at their own record before talking about poverty.”
“Madam Speaker, what Canadians would like are actual solutions from all sides of the House that would help reduce poverty in this country. Literally everything the Conservatives have put on the table has been rejected by poverty elimination experts. Not even one single policy recommendation from the Conservative Party appears in the list of policy recommendations in Food Banks Canada’s hunger report. One of the most important recommendations is affordable housing, which is true non-profit, non-market housing, and it is something the Conservative Party has voted against consistently over the last seven years since I have been here. They should look at their own record when talking about eliminating poverty.”
