I wish we were funding universal breakfast programs in our schools instead of encouraging donations. Child Nutrition Council has a wait list of schools waiting to get funding - there is more need than they are able to support. Kids need food in order to learn , full 🛑.

This is good news! PFC believes in closing sheltered workshops. We believe in real, equal pay for all workers across Canada. No person with an intellectual or developmental disability should be working for less than minimum wage.
