PC MHA Craig Pardy says “Recent news articles indicate that 50 percent of people who are now visiting food banks are new users.”
The Opposition’s shadow Minister for Children, Seniors and Social Development is speaking out following reports of continual increases in food bank usage. PC MHA Craig Pardy says “Recent news articles indicate that 50 percent of people who are now visiting food banks are new users.” He says many of these people are seniors and working individuals and this means that the cost-of-living crisis in our province is worsening. Pardy says “We need a responsive Poverty Reduction and Prevention Strategy with the goal of making our province’s poverty rates the lowest in the country.” He says this strategy must look at preventing poverty in addition to providing services to those experiencing poverty.
