Yes, I think we will still need a breakfast program or a food program in schools.
As I said earlier, in 1981, I was in the first grade. I think you know that there was no price on pollution back then. Maybe life was a bit easier for some families, but on certain days, my friends still didn't have anything to eat in their lunch boxes.
There are a lot of reasons families sometimes cannot put food in their kids' lunch boxes. Maybe it's because they don't have any money. Maybe it's because something happened at home in the morning or maybe it's because of a mental health issue.
Even if the price of food doesn't go up like that, of course I will want to have a school food program. We live in one of the only countries that doesn't have a school food program. It's time that Canada stepped up and put some kind of program in place.
I'm glad that my government.... Again, I thank the NDP for supporting a school food program. It's time to make sure our children are successful in life.
