Mr. Speaker, yesterday was Universal Children's Day but Canadians have little reason to celebrate with one of the worst child poverty rates in the G20.
While the government claims to be supporting families, one in ten Canadian children live in poverty. The government's callous response is “just get a job”.
The Conservatives just do not get it. Many have jobs, low paying, part-time jobs.
Why is the government refusing to help fight child poverty? Why has there been no action on creating the jobs that these families need?
