This announcement from the federal government came after significant pressure from the NDP:
- The BCNDP has implemented such a program and the newly elected Manitoba NDP is taking steps in that direction
- A month ago, the federal NDP was pushing for a national school lunch program in the next budget and had private talks with the Liberals about it
- 10 days ago, the federal NDP passed a motion to call on the gov to fund this program
- Advocacy groups put significant pressure on the government, too
I am happy to see this step towards ending child hunger and its great that the NDP is getting some nice little victories in the minority government.
