It's emblematic of the pressures that all of us can say we're feeling when we go to the gas station or when we go to the grocery store. That just continues to exacerbate as we go down the income quintiles. The cost pressures that we're all hearing about at a very macro level from large industry are being felt all the way through to food bank clients and food banks themselves. Fuel and transportation costs impact their ability to purchase and move food. That's why we've continued to advocate for investments within the food banking network.
More broadly, it shows that we haven't looked at the social supports and the income supports in Canada. For example, with EI, we just haven't reviewed it in this country. It was built at a different time for a different job market than what we have now. As one example, EI needs to be changed to match the current labour market we're seeing, where people are piecing together multiple part-time jobs, for example, to make ends meet.
