Kelly DeRidder Conservative
“Too many Canadians cannot afford food, including hundreds of thousands of children. The government is making life more expensive. When will it take responsibility and admit there is an affordability crisis?”
“Madam Speaker, of course, the member used the opportunity to attack Conservatives instead of focusing on a solution. One in nine households in the Waterloo region struggles to afford food. Across Canada, food banks saw 2.36 million visits in March alone, and one-third of those were children. There are 800,000 children going hungry in Canada. Canadians cannot afford excuses, and they cannot afford the government. When will the government take responsibility for making life more expensive and finally admit that we are in an affordability crisis?”
