Olivier De Schutter: Poor People In Canada

De Schutter Dept: Discussion centred on whether Canadians have trouble affording to feed themselves, with the government arguing De Schutter was wasting his time and advocates for the poor urging politicians to arrange for wide-ranging meetings to create a national food strategy, according to CBC. The 11-day visit to Canada involved looking at whether poor people in Canada have adequate diets and at social policies to support people with low incomes, he said. De Schutter said his role is to help countries identify blind spots in public policies that would be easier to ignore and that he didn't see why he should mince his words and uN special rapporteur for food Olivier De Schutter said he was in Canada to launch a conversation over a national food strategy, and he certainly started a debate. De Schutter warned Wednesday that inequality is getting worse, with many Canadians having problems getting the healthy food they require. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
