Mr. Speaker, years ago, Food Secure Canada did an analysis of all the issues in the food system. Do members know what issue was the most popular among Canadians? It was feeding kids. It is instinctual for any parent, but the desire to feed kids extends almost universally to all Canadians, except when it comes to the Conservatives. They have taken the most unpopular position. They actually oppose a national school food program. Their usual excuse is to claim that there is no food in the food program, but last week they actually had the gall to call the food program “garbage”. Who does that? Who says that?
