Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to say that I will be sharing my time with my colleague Mr. Van Bynen.
Madam Minister, thank you for being here today.
I am interested in one of the issues mentioned in your mandate letter, which is the national school nutritious meal program. I know that this is part of your mandate and that of the Minister of Agriculture.
In Quebec, currently, 70% of young people do not consume enough fruits and vegetables. In Montreal alone, about 17% of youth live in a low-income household. Indeed, we don't even know if they've had breakfast or if they're going to have dinner.
I'd like you to tell us about the importance of our commitment to creating this program.
