There are many more shocking revelations in the report of a non-profit organization. The Salvation Army report, released on November 21, 2024, also said that more than 90% of those surveyed said they had reduced spending on groceries to save money for other financial priorities.
Parents compromising their needs
This report has come at a time when Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to give exemption in GST on essential goods.
