In Kiiwetinoong, I think we have 20 long-term-care beds for 34,000 people, and we have 14 long-term boil water advisories. I’m not sure what this bill will do for a person who is in Fort Severn. Fort Severn is the most northerly community in Ontario. There’s about 600 people who live there. When you access a long-term-care facility, it takes four and half years to get a bed. You leave your community without your family, you die alone and you come back in a casket.

How is this bill going to support our elders, our knowledge keepers in Fort Severn, Ontario?
