Madam Speaker, that was the first issue that I began working on, even before I was elected. Unlike the NDP, I work in this riding every day and I understand that there are very sensitive issues, like safety and social harmony. I consulted all of the parties. We worked with the environment minister and the minister responsible for indigenous relations. We are still working on this. We worked with journalists and campaigned to raise awareness. We are doing it without putting on a show. What interests us is the environment, not putting on a show in other members' ridings.

Mr. Speaker, the government needs to stop playing hot potato and show some leadership. In an interview with Radio-Canada, the Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations made these regrettable comments, and I quote: We must let go of this idea that every time there are two or three indigenous people involved in an issue, it is a federal problem. The community of Kanesatake is asking for help, and that is an unacceptable response. Oka is asking for help, the entire region is asking for help. The federal government can clean up this mess. Yes, it is very much the federal government's problem. When will Ottawa bring the communities together in order to come up with a quick, concrete solution?
