Thank you, Chair.
Certainly New Democrats have been very supportive of a national school program. We know in our regions children who go to school without food. Right now 31.5% of children in Kenora are living in poverty. Those children are not getting proper food to go to school and nurture their brains.
What concerns me is that you've mentioned a couple times your figure of 400,000 students. Where did you come up with that number?
