Yes, Mr. Speaker.
Scientists from the faculty of medicine at the University of Toronto have just released a study on mothers who depend on food banks to feed their children.
The study commissioned by the health department reveals a very alarming situation. In order for their children to eat, these women often go without food. Over 26% of the women surveyed said they had been seriously undernourished during the past year. Seventy per cent of them depended entirely on social assistance to survive and their meager income was only 52.8% of the amount needed to reach the poverty line.
The Bloc Quebecois strongly condemns the Liberal Party's political choices, and accuses the government of being largely responsible for the increase in poverty.
