Churchill Keewatinook Aski Member of Parliament Niki Ashton says the challenge facing Canadians is becoming increasingly clear.  She says for decades governments have stripped away basic things that Canadians count on like health care, jobs, a secure retirement and clean air and water.  She adds people in our region have been frustrated time and again that federal governments have ignored them and instead of bringing relief for people affected by the housing crisis and personal debt the Liberal government has been providing billions of dollars in corporate giveaways.

Ashton says New Democrats are determined to make sure people have access to things that they need in their daily lives like fast tracking action on housing to start new units and expanding the public health care system to cover the cost of medication for all Canadians.
