They are unable to bring in fuel and other necessities; the ice roads they depend on have melted because of climate change. We are talking about thousands of people who are stranded. For years, the Liberals, like the Conservatives before them, have ignored the need for an all-weather road for these communities.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8184256\" data-originallang=\"en\">What will it take for the Liberals to help build the all-weather road needed for the first nations on the east side who are already paying the price for climate change?</p>",

Elles sont dans l'incapacit\u00e9 de faire venir du carburant et d'autres produits de premi\u00e8re n\u00e9cessit\u00e9; les routes de glace dont elles d\u00e9pendent ont fondu en raison du changement climatique. Des milliers de personnes sont ainsi prises au d\u00e9pourvu.
