Mr. Speaker, this week it is Shoal Lake. Last month it was Kashechewan, where residents were evacuated for the fourth consecutive year because of predictable flooding of the community.
The government is not only underfunding emergency management, but would rather spend $750 million on partisan ads rather than invest in long-term solutions. This is not just economic mismanagement, it impacts real people, real families, who are paying the price for these selfish choices.
Why is the government stubbornly refusing to help aboriginal communities until they are a crisis on the front page?
