Mr. Speaker, the tragic floods that occurred in Manitoba last spring devastated the people of the Red River Valley.
One year ago today the town of Ste-Agathe was completely flooded, creating grief, family breakdown and attempted suicides.
Even today 100 families live in trailers or garages because their homes remain uninhabitable.
This is not a question of merely, as was stated in the House yesterday, flooded basements or having no lights. This is about people who are suffering. We have a duty in this House and I have a duty to say that we must continue to support the people of Provencher, the people of the Red River Valley, as this government has done.
