Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives have spent the last two months going on and on talking about food banks, but they really need to listen to them.
I was in Edmonton last weekend. I met with people on the ground at food banks, and they were praising the Prime Minister's announcement and saying what a huge benefit it would be to people actually on the ground in ridings in Alberta, including Conservative ridings.
Conservatives should support a benefit that would help 1.3 million Albertans, including those in Conservative ridings.
