Mr. Speaker, Canada's food banks are telling us that in March alone close to one million people turned to food banks to feed themselves.
Their report recommends that the government establish a poverty reduction strategy before October 1, 2017, in order to help these people. We have an opportunity to take action now because my Bill C-245, which would establish such a strategy, is currently at second reading stage.
Will the government work with the NDP and support this bill?
