Mr. Speaker, the people of Attawapiskat continue to suffer a brutal housing crisis. Now there are serious questions about their water supply, and with winter hitting hard, a crisis is looming. We remember the winter of 2011 when Attawapiskat asked the Conservatives for help. The Conservatives falsely blamed them for ripping off taxpayers and then expelled a democratically elected council. However, under the Liberals, there has just been vague promises and no action. As this winter hits, will the government send a team to assess the situation on the ground and help find a solution for the people of Attawapiskat?

Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member opposite for his unwavering advocacy for the people of Attawapiskat. I have met extensively with chief and council and many members of Attawapiskat. Indeed, the department is working closely with the community to make sure they have the tools they need, and not just in the short term as winter bears down, but in the long term so that the community can move forward with their identified priorities.
