Mr. Speaker, let us recap: Public funds were spent with no bidding process or oversight on companies that we are not sure delivered on their mandates; sustainable development funding was diverted to interests that have nothing to do with the environment; there was no decision-making at the top, despite minutes confirming these problems and warnings from whistle-blowers; there were conflicts of interest; and there were ethical issues. I have a riddle for the Liberals: Am I talking about the Auditor General's reports or the Prime Minister's track record?

Mr. Speaker, obviously, feeding children in schools through a national school food program, in which there is an investment of $1 billion over five years in this year's budget, is going to roll out in the coming years and months. It has not fed children in the past because it was not in existence in the past. School food programs exist all across the country, but they have needed an injection of additional funds. We have heard their cries for more funding to help feed more children. That is exactly what we are doing. We have put it in this year's budget. The member opposite does not seem to want to support that. They are voting against a budget that helps feed 400,000 more kids. I cannot understand it. It is so ironic and hypocritical of them to stand here and say that Canadians are not doing well and are standing in food bank lineups. Yes, we empathize with that. That is why we are trying to feed children in this country.
