Mr. Speaker, Food Banks Canada has identified four key areas that it says will help address the issue of hunger in Canada. This is a persistent problem that should not exist, but one that we are fighting hard to address. The areas to focus on include benefits for people with disabilities, providing dental care, offering meal programs in schools and supporting the national housing strategy. These are all programs that the Conservatives voted against.
The Leader of the Opposition raises this issue and then votes against any initiative that helps the most disadvantaged people. Shame on him.
