Mr. Speaker, the minister should know that the Auditor General said that the program was not effective; it is abject failure.
Rather than fixing it, ministers continue to defend the indefensible. Recent footage of residents in Rankin Inlet scavenging for food at the dump did not prompt the Minister of the Environment, their MP, to acknowledge the problem. Instead, she savagely attacked the community's deputy mayor for pointing it out.
Rather than suing community leaders, will the government finally deal with the reality that people in northern Canada cannot afford to feed their families?
