During question period recently local MP Niki Ashton addressed the housing crisis on First Nations in Northern Manitoba and the rest of Canada.
In Garden Hill First Nation many people don’t have clean running water because their houses are not hooked up and they have not been able to get funding because they are not on a boil water advisory list as they don’t even have the water to boil.
She added that overcrowding and mould in houses are other issues that First Nations are dealing with.
Ashton concluded by saying that it’s time to cut the talk and act to end the housing crisis now.
