Context: House Hansard - 244 - Nov/1/23
Ms. Leah Gazan (Winnipeg Centre, NDP)
Madam Speaker, I would like to congratulate the speaker on his private member's bill. I would like to add that the Liberals promised this four years ago. It was part of their platform and they still have not delivered on it. I am glad he is taking the initiative. The member for Vancouver Kingsway also put forward a private member's bill earlier this year. It was Bill C-212, the school food program for children act, which I seconded. We tried to push the government to put in a school food program for children. There is no reason kids should be going to school hungry. As a former educator, I know what damage it does for kids' learning when they are going to school hungry. Does my hon. colleague believe the Liberals will actually keep their promise and put this bill in place?
