Mr. Speaker, finger pointing is not helpful. In this community, 780 students in Pikangikum go to school in a building intended for 250.
Overcrowding in homes is just as bad, with up to 18 people living in buildings intended for a family of four.
Pikangikum has had six suicides in the last year.
When will the government reveal its intentions for this particular community? When will the minister actually meet with chief and council and tell them his plans for safe drinking water on this reserve?
