Mr. Speaker, let us go from Bay Street to Attawapiskat. The chief of Attawapiskat was once again forced to declare a state of emergency on Saturday, following a rash of suicide attempts by young people in his community.
While the Prime Minister talks about how saddened he is by the situation, the fact is that it is getting worse and nothing is being done about it.
The government refused to conduct an inquiry, and requests for mental heath services are often denied. The government is turning its back on young people.
When will the government take action and put an end to this tragedy?
