James Moore: Not my job to 'feed neighbour's children'
It's not up to the federal government to help out children who don't have enough to eat, Industry Minister James Moore said in Vancouver.
Speaking to a Vancouver radio station Friday, Moore said British Columbia's child poverty rates aren't the responsibility of the federal government, and it won't "usurp" the province.
"Is it the government's job — my job to feed my neighbour's children? I don't think so," Moore said.
