Mr. Speaker, it seems that my colleagues on the other side of the House are unaware of what we have been through in recent years. Yes, it is true that people need help, and we are there for them. All the Conservatives know how to do is make cuts. Everywhere they have been, they have made cuts. We are addressing food security. We are setting up a food program in schools, in partnership with the provinces. We have also introduced the Canada child benefit. Let us keep in mind that under the Conservative government, all families with children of the same age were given the same cheque. Ours are based on salary. We have lifted 500,000 children out of poverty with this program.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to share today some of the feedback on our announcement of a national school food program in budget 2024. The Coalition for Healthy School Food released a statement applauding the federal government for the investment and urging all provinces and territories to sign on to the new policy to provide nutritious, culturally appropriate, sustainable and affordable food to school children across this country. On this side of the House, we will continue to make investments in children and family. On that side of the House, they need to explain to Canadians why they will not support feeding children.
