Mr. Speaker, Procedure · 11 wordsI rise today with great sorrow for a community in Yellowhead.Procedure Claims · 124 wordsTwo men and two children lost their lives on O’Chiese Road last Friday.¹ While the RCMP investigation is ongoing, local leaders have warned for years that a tragedy like this would happen on that road. In March, I met with the O’Chiese First Nation council to learn about the long history of trying to get this road fixed.² I drove the road myself, and it was atrocious. The nation repeatedly sought assistance from the Liberal government, but its requests were ignored by multiple ministers, so the nation asked me to deliver a binder documenting the safety concerns and requests for action, which I did in March in the House.³ Months later, there is still no action. Today, a community is grieving an unimaginable loss. Thanks · 18 wordsMy thoughts and prayers are with the families, their loved ones and all those affected by this tragedy.Thanks Positioning · 6 wordsThere can be no more procrastination.Positioning The ask · 32 wordsI call on the Liberal government to work with Clearwater County and the Province of Alberta to finally provide its share of the funding needed for O’Chiese Road to be made safe.
