Mr. Speaker, the government just does not get it. Water problems are not only in the Northwest Territories but across Canada. The government promised proper and meaningful consultation and accommodation with first nations on the issue of safe drinking water. This is not happening.
The government is ignoring Supreme Court rulings and precondition recommendations by the expert panel on safe drinking water.
Why is the government proceeding with the guise of consultation with first nations when it has apparently already decided the remedy, without any real consultation?
