Mr. Speaker, unfortunately I think that the member's view of what is actually happening on the ground in Canada is the exact opposite. Food bank usage is at its highest it has ever been. Millions of people are lining up for the food bank, many of whom are going for the first time.
Unfortunately the government seems to be taking pride in the fact that it is creating programs that supply food. I am old enough to remember when it was the individual's responsibility to go to work, create an income, buy their own food and find a place to live in a safe neighbourhood. All of that has been eviscerated, so I guess wonder whether, if the situation continues, the government will be creating an adult food program.
