Mr. Speaker, let us pick up on the caring attitude.
I want to go back to the dental program and the pharmacare program, as well as to focus on the national school food program. When we take a look at the national school food program, this has been an issue for generations. When I was elected back in 1988, in the Manitoba legislature, people were talking about children going to school on an empty stomach. For generations, nothing was done to deal with that issue. There were kids going to school who were not able to learn. This is not just me saying this; professionals are also saying this.
The Prime Minister made that program permanent, and that is good for the overall nation, for all children in every region. Does the member not agree that it has been an issue for many years?
