Mr. Speaker, my question is for the President of Treasury Board.
Poverty is a daily problem in cities throughout the country as new soup kitchens and shelters for the homeless spring up. This is only the tip of the iceberg. Unfortunately, the federal government has no program to provide financial assistance to these organizations that help the most disadvantaged members of society.
Will the President of Treasury Board promise to do everything possible to create such a program, in order to help these organizations that are dealing with the poverty of their fellow citizens on a daily basis?
