Mr. Speaker, the Rangers need action, not words.
During the Conservatives' turn at the helm of the Arctic Council, they moved away from its mandate of research, environmental protection, and co-operation to one of resource exploitation and confrontation with our Arctic neighbours. The Conservatives' failed domestic northern strategy has resulted in less food security, a higher cost of living, and the trampling of aboriginal rights.
When is the government going to bring in policies that actually support northerners and not just make a few large southern companies rich?
