I am referring to the fundamental right of every child in Canada to a healthy diet. On this day dedicated to the well-being of our youngest constituents, let us reaffirm our commitment to ensuring that no child in Canada goes to school hungry. I invite and encourage my colleagues to work together on developing a national school nutrition program in co-operation with our provincial, territorial, municipal, indigenous and private sector partners to come up with a practical solution to the pressing food security problem confronting Canadian families.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8048954\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I am very grateful to the Breakfast Club for organizing this morning's breakfast on the Hill and for defending every child's right to food.</p>",

J'invite et j'encourage mes coll\u00e8gues \u00e0 unir leurs forces pour travailler \u00e0 l'\u00e9laboration d'un programme national de repas nutritifs dans les \u00e9coles en collaboration avec nos partenaires provinciaux, territoriaux, municipaux, autochtones et du secteur priv\u00e9 afin d'offrir une solution tangible aux familles canadiennes pour r\u00e9pondre au probl\u00e8me pressant de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 alimentaire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8048954\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je remercie grandement le Club des petits d\u00e9jeuners d'avoir organis\u00e9 ce matin le d\u00e9jeuner sur la Colline et de d\u00e9fendre le droit de chaque enfant \u00e0 l'alimentation.</p>"
