What the Conservatives don’t get is that I walked the talk and fought hard for the National School Food Program for over a decade!

I visited schools in Whitby and witnessed firsthand how this program fills plates and fuels young minds.

Food for kids? The Conservatives are a “hard pass”

You’d think feeding kids would be universally supported but one party didn’t just say no to a national school food program.

They called it garbage.

Canadians deserve better than this!

Carney on Canada's National School Food Program: "No child should go to school hungry or sit in a classroom all day wondering where their next meal will come from... Until today, this program was a pilot..so, we're announcing we'll move forward with the funding and legislation to make it permanent."
