Mr. Speaker, I do not particularly agree the situation is any worse since we have come to power. I should know. I go to my riding as much as I can and I go to other
aboriginal areas in Canada. There is still a lot of work to be done but conditions have been improving on reserves.
I refer to the comments we got from Chief Ralph Caribou of Pukatawagan, Manitoba:
I am very happy to report that the skin problems amongst our people have decreased considerably this spring.
That is because of the water and sewage program introduced in Pukatawagan. Conditions are improving. There is a lot of work to be done and we are doing it.
