Thank you so much for your question.
In fact, household food insecurity is recorded in censuses. In Quebec, it is still one in five children, while in Canada, one in four children lives in a household that is food insecure. That is extremely concerning.
At the Breakfast Club, we did go from a provincial organization to a national organization. We now support 5,000 programs in every province and territory, working with community partners. Together, we manage to provide a certain level of quality.
We would really like to support the programs ideally and optimally. With more funding, we can do better. Our country has a lot of resources, and we think that Canada's national school food program should not be considered a social measure, but rather an investment in education, health and the economic resilience of communities. By building bridges with local agriculture, we can truly generate socio-economic benefits.
