Mr. Speaker, I completely concur with the member opposite that not having running water and access to clean water is not acceptable in Canada today. That is why it has been such a priority of our government to address the significant deficit in drinking water and sanitation of water in first nations communities.
I feel for the people of Neskantaga. I am happy they are in Thunder Bay while this problem gets sorted out. I immediately reached out to my colleague, the Minister of Indigenous Services, because there is much to do. We will be there for the people of Neskantaga as we sort through what needs to happen next.
