Mr. Speaker, after 10 years of fiscal mismanagement by the Liberals, the affordability of daily life is out of reach for many Ontarians. According to Feed Ontario's 2025 “Hunger Report”, more than 1 million Ontarians needed a food bank this year, marking a record-breaking 8.7 million visits to food banks in 2025. In Chelmsford, 1,300 people regularly visit the local food bank per month.
This need is being largely driven by the poor decisions of the Liberal government, which drive up inflation and the cost of daily necessities for all Canadians.
Today is Giving Tuesday, and I will be making a personal donation of food and other items to the fill a crib initiative in Greater Sudbury. As a record number of Canadians struggle, I encourage others across the country to do the same if they are able.
