“We cut taxes on gas and diesel, but the Conservatives voted against it. They talk about food banks, but they do not listen to Food Banks Canada. That group supported our benefit for low-income families, and the Conservatives voted against that too.”

Here is what it said: “For people relying on food banks, this program [the groceries and essentials benefit, which the Conservatives voted against] will provide direct assistance to low-income households to help cover...costs such as food, rent, or childcare, as we have called for.””
