Mr. Speaker, once again, the Conservative government has failed first nations, this time on emergency preparedness.
The Auditor General found that the department is stuck in a cycle of reacting to disasters and not doing enough to prevent and mitigate emergencies. Year after year, money set aside to respond to fires, floods and the lack of safe housing is not adequate.
When is the minister going to end this cycle of waiting for disasters to happen, and act to fix the problems that cause these emergencies?
