Mr. Speaker, the situation in Onion Lake is about to get worse. Charmaine reports that the leadership stopped development of dozens of new housing units, claiming that there was no money. How would they know? They do not have access to basic information. They have not seen the books.
This paternalistic approach of the minister is deplorable. The community members deserve to be empowered and know what is going on with their money.
When will the minister enforce the First Nations Financial Transparency Act and provide basic information that all other Canadians enjoy?
