Mr. Speaker, I thank Dr. Seuss.
In the isolated Dehcho First Nation community of Wrigley in the Northwest Territories, two-thirds of 175 residents have fallen ill with flu-like symptoms. The residents feel as though someone “has shut off the light”. There is no plan and they have no idea when help will arrive. Federal health officials have been muzzled and will not comment.
What is the government's plan to help the people of Wrigley? Why can an entire community be left in the dark at a time like this?
