Last Week, Churchill Keewatinook MP Niki Ashton spoke in the House of Commons to address the crisis in Churchill. 

She said Northern Manitoba has given a great deal to Canada and that it is time for the federal government to step up to nationalize the port and rail line.

She then asked the federal government what they plan to do to address the crisis in Churchill and Liberal Minister of Transportation Marc Garneau responded by saying that "a plan is being developed to ensure that both the Port of Churchill and the airport are capable of addressing the needs to resupply the people of Churchill."
