Opposition Greens call on King Government to take action on hunger

The Opposition Greens are calling on the King Government to take action on hunger.  The Opposition says food prices on PEI have gone up more than 10% just this year alone, and Islanders are struggling with the high costs of putting food on their tables.  The Opposition is urging Premier King to increase the minimum wage to $15.21 early next year; increase social assistance rates, including an increase to supports for Islanders living with a disability; introduce tax breaks for the lowest income earners in PEI and create a more equitable tax system; make the Seniors’ Food Program pilot permanent and expand it to include all of PEI; and give more money to Island food banks.
