Mr. Speaker, the Leader of the Opposition is good at throwing all of this stuff out. What he is not good at is reading what the groups on the ground have to say. Of course, there are too many people living in poverty in Canada, but there are significant initiatives being put in place by the government, opposed by the Leader of the Opposition and his party, that were systematically evoked in the report from Food Banks Canada today.
We support these key assistance programs for Canadians. He votes against them and then dares to get up and criticize us for putting in place support for the weakest Canadians.
