The Emergency Debate and the Children of Attawapiskat



I watched the emergency debate in the Commons on the crisis in Attawapiskat, and I heard some fine speeches.

Especially the one from Charlie Angus. 

No one can understand "how a country as rich as Canada can leave so many young children and young people behind," said Charlie Angus, whose sprawling northern Ontario riding includes the deeply troubled and isolated aboriginal community.

And let's hope that something good comes out of it because the situation couldn't be worse.
