Mr. Speaker, we will continue to invest in strengthening social security programs like old age security, the Canada pension plan and support for families, like the Canada child benefit and $10-a-day national child care, programs that the Conservatives continue to vote against, totally lacking empathy and understanding for the struggles that Canadian families are facing. On this side of the House, we will continue to do the hard work to ensure that we are there to support Canadian families.

Mr. Speaker, we know that many families are struggling to afford groceries. We are there to support Canadians through targeted social programs and income supplements, such as the Canada child benefit and the grocery rebate. We are also providing subsidies and support to food banks and charitable organizations. We will continue to fight against food insecurity.

Mr. Speaker, in addition to the support that we do for families, which I continue to share in this House, we have also introduced programs to support organizations that are working with Canadians to help address food insecurity, including over 300 organizations through the community services recovery fund. We have also invested almost $150 million to strengthen food systems and improve food security, including over 100 community projects. While the Conservatives continue to oppose these investments, we will continue to work on behalf of Canadians.
