Mr. Speaker, obviously, if those programs were working, we would not have so many children living in poverty.
Mahatma Gandhi once said that the true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable, so it is unfortunate that child poverty in Canada has risen for the third year in a row. More than 800,000 children in this country are currently living in poverty, and that number has more than doubled since 2020.
When will the Liberal government reverse the trend of child poverty getting worse under its watch and create an economy where Canadians can afford to live?
