Thank you, Chair.
Good afternoon to everyone.
First, to the Public Service Alliance, I really want to say on the record a big thank you to all your members for what they do on a daily basis for Canadians, whether it's the CBSA officer at an airport or border crossing or the various roles that Public Service Alliance members perform every day for Canadians. I really want to say thank you very much for that.
I want to ask a question of Utcha Sawyers on food banks.
I want to get on the record the programs we've put in place. I'll turn it over to you for the last 30 seconds. There is the Canada child benefit, which is going up to $7,800 a year for children under six. Obviously, it's a means-tested program. There's the national early learning day care program, which will be $10 on average in Ontario by September 2025. There's also a national food program. When you're putting these transformational pillars together, they put together a great foundation for children in Canada.
Ms. Sawyers, how important is this national food program for children who really need it?
