Mr. Speaker, obviously he misses the point, the fact that more people are using food banks.
The growth in the number of food bank users reflects a long-standing problem that worsened with the recession. The situation will continue to deteriorate with the end of the economic stimulus program, new spending cuts and the government's refusal to come up with a plan to address poverty in our communities.
When will the government realize it must act and put in place a real plan to eradicate poverty?
