“We made our school food program permanent. It feeds 400,000 more children, and 80% of public schools take part. We will keep funding it, but the Conservatives keep voting against it.”
“Mr. Speaker, this year, we made the school food and nutrition program permanent for children across the country. We achieved a participation rate of 80% of public schools across the country, and we are serving meals to 400,000 more children. This investment will continue in the coming years, but every time there is a vote in the House to support this program, the members opposite vote against this investment in children’s nutrition.”
