Mr. Speaker, New Democrats just returned from Rankin Inlet, where we witnessed the challenges facing Canadians in the north. We heard stories of 12, 15 or 17 people living in a two-bedroom home, of folks on housing waitlists for decades and of extreme food prices, from $15 onions to $28 orange juice. There is no hospital, not enough jobs and unreliable Internet.
People are experiencing similar issues in communities across Canada. When is the government going to take real action to address them?
