Mr. Speaker, reconciliation, as we heard today, includes an national inquiry into missing and murdered women.
Let us move to housing. One third of first nations in Manitoba live in inadequate housing conditions. I have seen them first-hand in our north: families in overcrowded houses, houses in deep need of repair, homes infected with black mould.
As national Chief Bellegarde said, how can we expect reconciliation when people live in these conditions? Will the government finally listen to first nations and act on addressing the deplorable housing conditions in first nations in the spirit of reconciliation?
