Mr. Speaker, speaking of food banks, Food Banks Canada welcomes the introduction of the Canada groceries and essentials benefit, calling it “an important step to help people facing rising affordability pressures."
While the members opposite obstruct real progress, we understand the affordability that is top of mind for Canadians. This is going to help 12 million Canadians. That is incredible. It is nearly $1,900 that will help as additional support for families of four. It will help mothers with groceries, helping them with essentials at home and with their kids at school. This is real progress and real change.
