One in five Canadians skip meals because they can’t afford groceries, he told a sold-out crowd at the Surrey Board of Trade event.
In addition, he told the crowd that young people had to live with their parents longer because they couldn’t go out on their own.

“It feels a lot like our country has become a place where nothing can be done.”
