Poverty December 9th, 1997
Mr. Speaker, I must admit that this is not easy to understand.
This government was elected on promises, including that it would scrap everything, scrap free trade, scrap the GST, scrap the helicopter deal, which, until now, has cost us close to $1 billion in delays, and even to scrap the country with Plan B plus.
What is the minister doing to fight suffering? Can the minister tell us how much money his government has provided for down-to-earth things like soup kitchens?
Poverty December 9th, 1997
Mr. Speaker, the government is the only party in this House not to recognize poverty as an emergency.
My question is for the prime minister. Until recently, Canada had always shown great compassion for the underprivileged. But with the reduction in transfer payments to the provinces and the tightening up of requirements for employment insurance, there is an increasing number of poor people.
Should the government not be turning once again to basic needs, to what must be done to find clothing, food and shelter for the poorest Canadians? When will the government support the organizations that are trying to deal with these urgent needs?
