Niki Ashton Addresses Indigenous Issues in Our Region

Our local MP Niki Ashton spoke in the House of Commons recently where she accused the Minister of Indigenous Services of failing indigenous peoples on their promises.

 

Ashton says the Liberal Government broke their promise with the Dene to settle the north of sixty land claim, and accused them of failing to solve the housing crisis in our region and the suicide crisis in Gods Lake Narrows.

 

She then asked if the Minister of Indigenous Services will act urgently on the issues on first nations and Métis people and Marc Miller responded by saying that health teams work closely with their partners in Manitoba to coordinate crisis response and mental wellness supports.

 

He added that they are in regular contact with the community of Gods Lake Narrows and officials will be meeting with community leadership to support the needs of the community.
