Mr. Speaker, one in ten Canadians and one in five single-parent families are affected by food insecurity.
Today the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food is visiting Canada, the first OECD country to receive him. Instead of welcoming him with open arms and taking the matter seriously, the Conservatives are slamming the door in his face with a bang.
Approximately two million Canadians do not have access to healthy food. Why does the government continue to ignore this problem?
