Mr. Speaker, the nutrition north program is another failure and symbolic of the Conservatives' failed Arctic policies. Now the minister's department has put out a tender for a consultant to help him out with nutrition north, not now but next fiscal year.
The reality is that parents across northern Canada are going without food and elders are scavenging in the dumps.
Canadians in southern Canada have begun sending food to northerners through organizations like Helping our Northern Neighbours.
Why are the Conservatives delaying action on this immediate crisis?
