NDP,Federal Government,National School Lunch Program

The NDP is urging the federal government to introduce a national school lunch program in the upcoming federal budget to support children's learning and alleviate financial burden on parents.

The NDP is calling on the federal government to announce a national school lunch program in the upcoming federal budget, to be released on April 16.

"Parents are doing everything they can to take care of their kids, but the cost of food just keeps going up," NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said in a media statement released Wednesday
