Mr. Speaker, after nine years of debt, taxes and inflation courtesy of the Prime Minister and the Bloc Québécois, Canadians are hungry, literally. According to a report by Food Banks Canada, 50% of Canadians report that their situation is worse than last year. One-quarter of Canada's young adults have to rely on food banks. Why is the Prime Minister forcing Canadians to feed his morbidly obese government when they cannot even feed themselves?

Mr. Speaker, his school food program has provided zero meals, zero. It feeds the bureaucracy, not the children. Let us talk about austerity. In the past three months, 25% of young adults have had to go to a food bank. That is austerity. Some 50% of Canadians say they are worse off than they were last year and 25% are experiencing food insecurity. That is austerity. How is it that the government has money to spare while ordinary Canadians are struggling to get by?
