Mr. Speaker, there are many residential school survivors and family members of murdered and missing indigenous women and girls in British Columbia who are non-status. This week, they are learning that their access to counselling is being cut-off because the Liberals, like the Conservatives before them, are underfunding first nations' health. These are community members who have experienced serious trauma and for whom counselling is a key part of their healing journey.
Why is the government denying survivors access to critical counselling?
