Mr. Speaker, I listened with great interest when my hon. colleague talked about reducing poverty as a health outcome.
Today, in her riding, hundreds of people have been evacuated from Neskantaga because they do not have access to water. This community has gone 25 years without having clean water. The system is so broken in Neskantaga even after the Prime Minister's promise to clean it up. The sewage lifts are not working, they cannot get water to the school and people are getting water in buckets. As of last night, the government was refusing to even pay for the evacuation, but it has now been shamed into that.
What will the minister do, today, to deal with the crisis in Neskantaga? People in her riding are being put up in hotels because they have no homes to go back to and no access to safe drinking water in their community.
