Mr. Speaker, I cannot understand why the government continues to act so much like an opposition and blames everybody else when it is the government of the day and it is the one that can address this situation right now.
This pandemic has resulted in people having to wash their hands more frequently, physically distance themselves and has upended northern supply chains. It has made bottled water more difficult to come by in indigenous communities. For far too long, these communities have been put on the backburner.
I would ask the minister this. How quickly would his government have responded if it were Toronto or his downtown Montreal riding that did not have access to clean drinking water?
