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?

Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. To follow up on what my Liberal colleague was saying, let us talk about climate change. What is going to be really costly to taxpayers? It certainly has to do with agriculture, but not with the carbon tax. What farmers are telling us is that the lack of water is going to be costly. Crops lost to pests are going to be costly. Heat is having a real impact on livestock, productivity and reproduction. There is less snow, which protects the earth. As a result of all of that, yes, it will be more costly. Climate change is here and it will be here for good if we do nothing to control it or reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. What does my colleague think of that analysis?

Madam Speaker, on this side of the House, we have a responsibility to protect taxpayers. That is why we are requesting a recorded division.
