Madam Speaker, this summer barges along the Mackenzie River were cancelled due to low water levels after a prolonged drought, stranding residents without shipments of supplies. Northerners have made it very clear that they need an all-weather road along the Mackenzie to keep a lifeline to their communities. Both the Liberals and the Conservatives are ignoring these calls.
Will the Liberals fund the construction of a road connecting communities in the Sahtu, or will they keep denying northerners the infrastructure that they need?
