00:00:00.000 It's also really good to see the Manitoba Minister of Education and Early Childhood Learning, Nelo Altomare.
00:00:05.920 It's great to know that we share a past in schools, and it's what brings us here today,
00:00:11.020 understanding how we need to put kids first and foremost, not just for today, but for tomorrow.
00:00:18.220 We need more teachers and educators in politics, so it's great to see you as part of this,

00:00:46.040 As you can see, the Prime Minister pausing his remarks at this news conference in Winnipeg,
00:00:53.940 saying you need to assist a student who has gone down to the ground.
00:01:01.320 It looks like the Prime Minister and the other officials taking part in this news conference
00:01:06.220 are now trying to provide some assistance,
00:01:11.220 getting a chair for a student who had gone down to the ground.

00:01:23.500 where the Prime Minister is again speaking about plans that were outlined ahead of the budget
00:01:29.700 and then in the federal budget itself for federal funding for a national school food program,
00:01:37.280 a pledge of about $1 billion over five years.
00:01:40.980 And the government says this can provide meals for up to 400,000 students.

00:01:53.740 A student who is on hand for this announcement getting some help
00:01:58.380 and it looks like being helped out of the room.
00:02:03.220 A bit of a round of applause.
00:02:04.640 So we are just waiting for the Prime Minister to restart his remarks.
00:02:10.320 Let's go back to Winnipeg.
