Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for talking about the vulnerable and those who go hungry.
This has been Feeding Toronto's Hungry Students Week. We feed 110,000 children every morning. One child in four goes to school hungry. Hungry children cannot learn. Their learning capabilities are affected by how recently they have eaten. Malnutrition in early life can limit long-term intellectual development. We know that access to safe and healthy food is a right of every individual. Canada is one of the few industrialized countries without a national nutrition program.
Does the hon. member think that the federal government should be talking with the provinces and territories to end child hunger in this country?
