Mr. Chairman, we all have bad roads in our communities. They are not up to par, they are full of potholes and we do have problems with our community infrastructure such as drainage and what not.

Yet, Mr. Chairman, an emergency for me is a thing of protecting communities and the health and well-being of our communities. The community of Tsiigehtchic has been under orders, they have been told that they are going to get infrastructure in their community for a water treatment program, which is a public health issue which is an emergency as far as I see it. They have not even seen a blueprint of the facility or what they are looking at and they have been waiting for two years. As far as I am concerned, that is an emergency. That should have been dealt with like the maintenance of this road.

So why is it that the determination of a so-called emergency is different when it comes to Ministers' ridings?
