Mr. Speaker, the family of Connie and Ty Jacobs broke their silence about the tragic shooting two weeks ago on the Tsuu T'ina reserve. Yesterday they went public asking for help. Connie's sister, Cynthia Applegarth, said “As long as there is poverty on reserves and no economic development you will have deaths, suicides and murders”. She wants an independent inquiry into the social, economic and democratic conditions on the Tsuu T'ina reserve.
Why will the Indian affairs minister not listen to Connie's grieving family?
