Mr. Speaker, a new report from Food Banks Canada released today shows that food bank use has hit record levels this year. More than 882,000 Canadians had to use a food bank just to make ends meet. That is 31% higher than before the recession began. It shows that the government's management of the economy is failing vulnerable Canadians.
When will the government finally take hunger seriously and adopt a comprehensive long-term strategy on food insecurity and poverty in Canada?
