Mr. Speaker, I thank the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Indigenous and Northern Affairs for her very powerful speech, one of many we have heard tonight. I do acknowledge that the government has put significant resources into a long-term plan.

\n

I want to focus my comments on the short term, so it is a two-part question.

\n

We have heard about the needs of Attawapiskat, and we heard about La Loche. One of the things that concerned me was what I heard from the member of Parliament who represents La Loche, that services were flown in, but within two months those services were no longer there, and as we can imagine, the trauma impacting that community was significant.

\n

In the short term, given all the speeches tonight, given the fact that she has a very important and critical role, what will my colleague be recommending to the minister and cabinet in terms of what we should do immediately, the next steps?

Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie la secr\u00e9taire parlementaire de la ministre des Affaires autochtones et du Nord de son discours tr\u00e8s \u00e9nergique, l'un des nombreux que nous avons entendus ce soir. Je reconnais que le gouvernement consacre d'importantes ressources \u00e0 un plan \u00e0 long terme.

\n

Mes observations porteront surtout sur les mesures \u00e0 court terme. Il s'agit d'une question \u00e0 deux volets.

\n

Nous avons entendu parler des besoins de la collectivit\u00e9 d'Attawapiskat et de celle de La Loche. Ce qui m'a pr\u00e9occup\u00e9e, notamment, c'est d'entendre la d\u00e9put\u00e9e qui repr\u00e9sente les habitants de La Loche dire que des personnes se sont rendues sur place par avion pour offrir des services, mais que, \u00e0 peine deux mois plus tard, ces services n'\u00e9taient plus offerts. Pourtant, comme nous pouvons l'imaginer, le traumatisme qui a touch\u00e9 cette collectivit\u00e9 \u00e9tait important.

\n

\u00c0 court terme, \u00e0 la lumi\u00e8re de tous les discours que nous avons entendus ce soir, compte tenu du fait qu'elle a un r\u00f4le tr\u00e8s important, que recommandera ma coll\u00e8gue \u00e0 la ministre et au Cabinet en ce qui concerne les prochaines \u00e9tapes, ce que nous devrions faire dans l'imm\u00e9diat?
