Madam Speaker, with respect to La Loche, I want to assure her that this government recognizes the urgency of the issue in that community and in many indigenous communities across the country. We are committed to continuing to coordinate our actions with other federal departments, provincial ministries, and key first nations partners. The framework for the Inuit people, for example, is very much under discussion, but we recognize its urgency and we have made a commitment to deliver on that framework in this fiscal year.
We are working with our first nations partners, including the Meadow Lake Tribal Council and the Clearwater River Dene Nation. In particular, government officials are working with those organizations to provide search capacity as well as looking at the long-term mental health needs of that community.
Long-term recovery response planning discussions have begun in the community with its leadership to develop a response plan and to link appropriate services. We are all mindful of the urgency and the need within that community, and we will work diligently together to address those concerns.
