Mr. Speaker, first nations in our region are in crisis and the government is missing in action. In God's River, Gods Lake Narrows and Oxford House, drugs are destroying the lives of people. In God's River, the RCMP took up to two and a half days to respond to a serious incident. There is a housing crisis, a cost-of-living crisis and an unemployment crisis. First nations leaders and members on the ground are clear: They have never seen it this bad. What will it take for the government to act on the humanitarian crisis that is destroying families and first nations right now?
