OTTAWA — The federal Liberals have signed a deal to expand school food programs in Newfoundland and Labrador, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Wednesday.
It becomes the first province to sign on to the federal government's plan for a national school food program.
Trudeau's government set aside $1 billion over five years in the last budget to expand access to provincial school food after the NDP put pressure on the Liberals to fund the program. The government says the money announced Wednesday will allow the province to expand school food programs to 4,100 more children this school year.
