Mr. Speaker, due to the escalating climate crisis, Manitobans are being uprooted from their communities by raging wildfires. The premier has ordered a province-wide emergency as 17,000 people in northern communities and first nations have fled their homes. Many are being evacuated to Winnipeg Centre, where countless people already suffer with housing insecurity and unmet mental health needs.
Will the government act to ensure that all communities impacted by the fires receive the health and housing resources they need so they can live in dignity?
