Statement made on 29 November 2011 by Senator Sandra Lovelace Nicholas

Hon. Sandra Lovelace Nicholas:

Honourable senators, my question is directed to the Leader of the Government in the Senate. On October 28, the First Nations community of Attawapiskat declared a state of emergency because of its deplorable conditions. With winter approaching and temperatures dropping, some families have been living in tents and sheds without heat, electricity, running water or adequate sanitation.

The government finally heard the community's cry for emergency help last week, with an announcement that the Red Cross would be sending a team to provide immediate humanitarian assistance.

Will the Harper regime ensure that all the families in this community are provided with the warm, safe shelter they deserve this winter?
