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?

Madam Speaker, I appreciated my colleague's speech. We see that the Conservatives are pretty disconnected from reality here in Canada, as well as internationally. Does my colleague think that what we are seeing in the motion is a case where they are putting their friends' profits, including those who work in the oil industry, ahead of the humanitarian needs of people who are currently suffering in Ukraine?
