This legislation would reduce food waste and hunger in our communities by creating a tax incentive to encourage food producers, suppliers, and retailers to donate food to charities. I would like to thank the hon. member for <a data-HoCid=\"214258\" href=\"/politicians/jenny-kwan/\" title=\"Jenny Kwan\">Vancouver East</a> for seconding this bill.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4919784\" data-originallang=\"en\">This bill is a result of the vision of two thoughtful high school students from my riding of Vancouver Kingsway, Gaelan Emo and June Lam from Windermere Secondary. June and Gaelan are this year's winners of my annual Create your Canada contest held in high schools across Vancouver Kingsway. They identified the need to reduce the 31 million pounds of food wasted in Canada every year and lend a hand to the 13% of Canadians who live in food insecurity. This is a smart economic policy and a progressive social initiative.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4919785\" data-originallang=\"en\">I hope that all parliamentarians will help them realize their vision for a better Canada and support this excellent bill.</p>\n<p class=\"procedural\" data-HoCid=\"2\"> (Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed) </p>",

Cette mesure l\u00e9gislative permettrait de r\u00e9duire le gaspillage alimentaire et la faim dans nos collectivit\u00e9s en encourageant, au moyen d'une mesure fiscale, les producteurs, fournisseurs et d\u00e9taillants de produits alimentaires \u00e0 faire don de nourriture \u00e0 des organismes de charit\u00e9. J'aimerais remercier la d\u00e9put\u00e9e de <a data-HoCid=\"214258\" href=\"/politicians/jenny-kwan/\" title=\"Jenny Kwan\">Vancouver-Est</a> d'appuyer ce projet de loi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4919784\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce projet de loi d\u00e9coule d'une id\u00e9e de deux \u00e9l\u00e8ves attentionn\u00e9s de niveau secondaire dans ma circonscription, Vancouver Kingsway. Il s'agit de Gaelan Emo et de June Lam, de l'\u00e9cole secondaire Windermere. June et Gaelan sont les gagnants de cette ann\u00e9e de mon concours annuel \u00ab Cr\u00e9e ton Canada \u00bb qui a lieu dans les \u00e9coles secondaires de Vancouver Kingsway. Ces \u00e9l\u00e8ves ont constat\u00e9 qu'il fallait r\u00e9duire la quantit\u00e9 de nourriture gaspill\u00e9e au Canada, soit 31 millions de livres par ann\u00e9e, et aider les 13 % de Canadiens qui vivent de l'ins\u00e9curit\u00e9 alimentaire. C'est une politique \u00e9conomique judicieuse et une initiative progressiste sur le plan social.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4919785\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'esp\u00e8re que tous les parlementaires les aideront \u00e0 r\u00e9aliser leur vision pour un Canada meilleur et qu'ils appuieront cet excellent projet de loi.</p>\n<p class=\"procedural\" data-HoCid=\"2\">(Les motions sont r\u00e9put\u00e9es adopt\u00e9es, le projet de loi est lu pour la premi\u00e8re fois et imprim\u00e9.) </p>"
