Mr. Speaker, I listened intently to the secretary of state's speech.
In my community of Middlesex—London, I am hearing from parents all over, I am hearing from seniors and I am hearing from all kinds of people who say they cannot afford food. The reason they are having a hard time paying the bills, paying for heat and buying food is that the Liberal government's policies over the last 10 years have put them in this financial situation. People are struggling because of the policies of the Liberal government. Parents would not need to use and rely on a school food program if it were not for the fact that the government has put them in the position of having to choose between heating and food.
Can the member opposite comment on whether she and her government would like to change policies to actually put money back in the pockets of Canadians so that parents can afford to feed their kids?
