Joint Committee on Social Protection, Rural and Community Development

Child Poverty: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Paul Ginnell:

I would reinforce what Ms Bayliss said. Our position on food banks is it is an unfortunate necessity for people that they have to depend on food banks but it is an admission of the failure of the system to provide people with an adequate income.

That is all it is. More food banks are, unfortunately, a greater sign that the system is broken.
