Mr. Speaker, the only time that member has ever been right was last week when he stood in this House and screamed, “Shame on the government”.
The government's failures on tax policy show incompetence, but its failure on first nations health care show contempt and neglect. First nations communities in Ontario and Manitoba lack basic health services from their federal government. There is no guaranteed access to clinical care. There are major health and safety problems at nursing stations. Only 1 out of 45 nurses evaluated had been given proper training courses.
This is the responsibility of the federal government. Why such neglect for first nations communities?
