More People in Canada Rely on Foodbanks

A report released yesterday says the number of Canadians turning to food banks is now 31 per cent higher than it was before the 2008 recession.

The federal New Democrats say the Harper government has a moral responsibility to make sure all Canadians have enough to eat.

But the Conservatives insist they are helping those in need by instituting new tax credits, increasing benefits for seniors and cutting the G-S-T.
