Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Finance.
With the sting still burning from the UN attack on his government's abysmal poverty record, today the minister must be reeling from two more devastating reports.
The CCSD report blames the feds for the declining well-being of Canadian children, and the National Council of Welfare takes the hot air out of the much touted child tax benefit and condemns it for ignoring the poorest of the poor.
If the minister can pull himself out of his chair to face the music, will he commit today to invest the funds necessary to ensure that no children go hungry in Canada?
