On the recordMarch 11, 1997
It is, of course, noteworthy that when hunger strikes, it does not ask for party affiliation. Hunger does not care if one is a liberal or a conservative or a Democrat or a Republican. In fact, when the pangs of hunger are most sharply felt, it is often by those 13 million who are not even old enough to vote. But the good news, I suppose, is that hunger is a curable disease. Hunger relief is in transition, but I think as the Federal Government, Mr. Speaker, steps out of the equation, then the solution does shift to the faith-based and community-based charities to reach out to those in need. And I think this transition actually strengthens the resolve of those creative people, those ministers, lay ministers, and others within the communities, to reach out to those in need.
