Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the upcoming federal budget will include a national school food program.
Trudeau made the announcement in Toronto today with Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland and Families Minister Jenna Sudds as part of the Liberal government's pre-budget tour.
The program is expected to provide meals to 400,000 more kids per year.
Ottawa plans to spend $1 billion over the next five years on the national food program.
The Liberal government has long promised to launch such a program, and Trudeau campaigned on it during the 2021 election.
New Democrats have been pushing the Liberal government to fulfill that promise ahead of the federal budget.
