“More families are going hungry because they cannot afford food. I want the government to spend less money and cut taxes instead of bringing in another costly budget.”
“Mr. Speaker, my team and I recently volunteered at the North York Harvest Food Bank. We witnessed first-hand the growing hardship facing Canadian families. One in four food bank clients is a child, and 53% of clients have skipped meals to afford other necessities. The Salvation Army reports that 31% of Canadians are skipping or reducing meals, because they simply cannot afford groceries. Will the Liberal government finally get its spending under control and cut taxes, instead of forcing struggling families to pay the price for another unaffordable budget as its programs are not working?”
