Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for representing the great people of Carleton and the issues they care about.
Kids cannot learn if they are hungry. A new study by the Breakfast Club of Canada shows that school food programs improve educational outcomes, reduce childhood obesity and increase disposable incomes for families facing rising costs. Canada was the last country in the G7 to have a national school food program. Now we do. The budget makes it permanent.
It is a shame that Conservative members do not think kids' health and school food are worth studying or voting for.
