Thank you.
Two very damning reports were just released that show how bad the Liberal policies are on high taxes and high spending and how it's affecting people. First, “Salvation Army Spring 2024 Research” said “3 in 4 Canadians continue to face food security challenges” and that more people “have skipped or reduced the size of at least one meal because they couldn't afford groceries.” The Food Banks Canada poverty report stated that almost half of people nationally felt worse off than they did a year ago. It gave an F rating in the poverty measures index, which includes poverty rate, unemployment, and food insecurity. Of course, we know that food bank usage is at a record high after nine years of this government.
Mr. Nabein, based on your experience serving people who can't afford to feed themselves, what do you attribute this to?
