Mr. Speaker, over 10,000 days have passed since the people of Neskantaga have had clean drinking water. That is over 10,000 days without something that people count as normal in communities across this country. The people of Neskantaga have not had clean drinking water for over two decades. This is a complete and abject failure of leadership. The government has to acknowledge that this failure must be remedied. When will the government ensure that the people of Neskantaga and all first peoples of this land have access to clean drinking water?

Mr. Speaker, KPMG literally counselled the wealthiest Canadians to use offshore tax havens. It told Canadians to put their money and their assets into the Isle of Man tax-free haven and that it would help them recover them, tax-free. It sounds pretty shady to me. It also sounded shady to the CRA, so it launched a criminal investigation, which found that there was no wrongdoing, which clearly means that we need to change the laws. When will the government finally change the laws to make sure that the wealthiest Canadians are not able to use offshore tax havens and avoid paying their fair share and actually contributing fairly like the rest of Canadians do?

Mr. Speaker, KPMG did in fact counsel the wealthiest Canadians to use tax loopholes. That is unacceptable. The government has the power to repeal the laws that allow this. Will the government at long last amend the legislation to make the ultrarich pay their fair share like everyone else?
