Pauline Rochefort Highlights Budget 2026 Affordability Measures in Ontario

Parliamentary Secretary Pauline Rochefort will visit the Markstay Food Bank in Ontario on November 12, 2026, to promote affordability measures introduced in Budget 2026: Masters of our destiny. Representing Buckley Belanger, the Secretary of State for Rural Development, Rochefort intends to discuss specific government initiatives designed to help Canadians manage the rising costs of groceries and other everyday essentials.

The event is organized in coordination with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada. The visit serves as a platform to highlight how the current budget addresses the financial pressures facing rural communities and food-insecure populations.
