Mr. Speaker, 800,000 children are living in poverty on that record. When we say it is okay for children to live in poverty, we are putting them on the road to lifelong health problems. We are stifling the growth of our children and their ability to live healthy lives and reach their full potential. Today, as I said, 800,000 Canadian children live in poverty. This is a national shame.
When will the government finally take action to help our children grow up into healthy adults?
