pei school food programme gets support


Prime minister Justin Trudeau who had visited a public school in eastern Prince Edward Island announced $7.1 million in federal support over three years for the island's school food program.


The prime minister during the visit said direct financial help is crucial during a time when people are being squeezed because of the high cost of living.


Premier Dennis King joined the prime minister for the annoucement in Mount Stewart and said that his government would add $15 million on top of the federal three year contribution.
