Thank you to my colleagues for the excellent points you’ve made today regarding the budget.

The budget is making some investments; let’s not deny it. If you’re a car owner, if you’re into infrastructure—there is a lot of money pouring into there.

But the fact of the matter is that our community organizations are underfunded—community organizations that help support victims of sexual assault, that provide mental health support; women’s centres and food banks, for our sake.

The Ottawa Food Bank just marked their 40th anniversary just last week—a food bank that was supposed to be an emergency measure, that has been operating for 40 years now.

What is the budget doing to help vulnerable people and people who need to count on food banks?
