Statement made on 18 June 2008 by Senator Sharon Carstairs (retired)

Hon. Sharon Carstairs:

It appears that the Honourable Leader of the Government in the Senate and the minister responsible for seniors is not conducting any studies with respect to the needs of seniors in Aboriginal communities. If the honourable senator was, she would say so.

Therefore, perhaps the honourable senator can describe what she is studying as the minister responsible for seniors about the impact of the 100 boil-water advisories in Aboriginal communities. What impact are those boil-water advisories having on the health of seniors in those communities?
