Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I know that the minister spoke about first nations, Inuit and Métis, and I just want to speak specifically about poverty eradication and also food security as laid out in the mandate letter.
I note that, in the supplementary estimates, in about a third of them, the funding is focused on reconciliation. We know that racialized and indigenous children are more likely to be living in poverty according to our most recent census data. The Campaign 2000 report that was published this morning showed that Canada's child poverty rate dropped during the CERB payments, but we know that kids are still going hungry and that one in eight children are still living in poverty in this country.
My question is around this food security issue. I want to ask specifically about the national nutritious school meal program and where it's at. Could you give us an update and a timeline? Also, how are we reaching the most vulnerable kids, including those in first nations, Inuit and Métis communities?
