Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you, witnesses, for being here today.

Those are some staggering numbers that we heard in the opening remarks here. I think if Canadians are watching today, they will be as surprised as I was to hear about the increase in food bank visits in a month.

I believe what you said, Mr. Hetherington, was 270,000 in Toronto alone per month, this month, as in February 2023. Is that correct?
