OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his government has signed a deal to expand school food programs in Newfoundland and Labrador.
It becomes the first province to sign on to the federal government’s plan for a national school food program.
Trudeau’s government set aside $1 billion over five years in the last budget to expand access to provincial school food after the NDP put pressure on the Liberals to fund the program.
As part of the deal, Newfoundland and Labrador will receive approximately $9.1 million over three years.
