What a fantastic question. I think the big difference between Liberal policy and Conservative policy, to my mind, is that Conservatives don't understand that in order to actually fight crime, you have to prevent crime. You prevent crime by building up communities. You prevent crime by making sure that people have access to quality education and their bellies are full while you do it. You prevent crime by making sure that people feel like they, too, and their children, have a fair chance to succeed.
These guys want to focus on putting everybody in jail. I can tell you that there aren't enough jail spaces available to deal with the issues that you're raising, actually, as an educator. When children go to school hungry, when they're not well supported, when families don't have what they need to be able to help their children thrive, we all pay—and we pay a big price. It's not just crime, as you know. It's very expensive to leave people neglected in our communities.
This is the fundamental difference between Conservative politicians and Liberal politicians. We believe in our communities, and we believe in the possibility of our communities. That's why the school food program is so important.
