Mr. Speaker, York Landing is now in the fifth week of chronic water outages during a pandemic.
The first nation has been forced to declare a state of emergency because their “state of the art” water treatment plant is not working. The band is now paying out of pocket for proper testing and bottled water. The Liberals will say they are monitoring the situation, but band-aids will not cut it.
The government's lack of sustained funding is the problem. What is the federal government going to do right now to fix the water treatment plant in York Landing?
