A question period where Conservative MPs repeatedly asked the Liberal government about their failure to deliver on past promises to Indigenous communities - specifically to make First Nations policing an essential service and reduce food insecurity in the North. Liberal ministers responded with vague assurances they were working on the issues, but provided no specifics or timelines.
