Mr. Speaker, the recommendation was to help Canadians. I see this in my riding. I checked recently and I found that 27,000 people in my riding are enrolled in the dental care plan. We know that just as many still need to register. That is a real need.
As for food banks, I visited Entraide Agapé, which is just a few steps from my office. The people who were there need assistance. The centre itself needs staff and volunteers; it needs funding and help from us.
We will be helping them with Bill C-19. We will be able to provide direct assistance to food banks so that they can help people put food on the table.
