Trudeau pledges to feed 400,000 more kids with 5-year program starting in this year’s budget
The upcoming federal budget will include funding for a national school food program that will aim to provide meals to 400,000 more kids per year across the country, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday.
New Democrats have been pushing the Liberal government to fulfil that promise ahead of the federal budget, which Freeland is set to present on April 16. Last week, Trudeau announced new tools aimed at renters, including a plan to work with financial institutions to make rent payments count toward a credit score.
“This significant advancement marks a turning point in the country’s commitment to the well-being of all children as one in three are at risk of going to school on an empty stomach,” the school nutrition organization said in a news release.
