Mr. Speaker, “A global pandemic, a local failure” reads today's headline in The Globe and Mail.
The H1N1 virus continues to spread in first nations communities in northern Manitoba. The federal government says it has a plan. It says it is working with the province. Yet, people are still getting sick; they are still waiting for help.
Why has the federal government not sent supplies and expertise to the Garden Hill First Nation and others to help them fight the spread of this virus?
