Mr. Speaker, Pikangikum is in crisis. It is the Kashechewan of the northwest. This fly in community still depends on buckets to collect drinking water from lakes and the kids in high school shop classes are busy making outhouses because there is no sewage system.
The chief and council have asked the province to intervene because the health situation is so dire. The people in Pikangikum feel abandoned by the government.
Will the minister meet personally with chief and council to explain the government's plan to improve the health situation in Pikangikum?
