Alors que les cas de COVID-19 augmentent, la Premi\u00e8re Nation de Bearskin Lake est compl\u00e8tement d\u00e9bord\u00e9e et a imm\u00e9diatement besoin de l\u2019aide des Forces arm\u00e9es canadiennes. Les leaders communautaires affirment ne plus pouvoir assurer la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 de la communaut\u00e9, car plus de la moiti\u00e9 de la population est en isolement. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrate Charlie Angus travaille avec la communaut\u00e9 et estime qu\u2019une pr\u00e9sence militaire est n\u00e9cessaire avant que la situation ne s\u2019aggrave.<\/p>\n
\u00ab Les gens de Bearskin Lake sont compl\u00e8tement d\u00e9pass\u00e9s pour essayer d\u2019obtenir des produits essentiels comme du bois pour chauffer les maisons et de l\u2019\u00e9picerie pour les personnes en isolement, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 M. Angus. Ils ont d\u00e9sesp\u00e9r\u00e9ment besoin d\u2019aide pour pouvoir traverser ces quelques jours et semaines \u00e0 venir. Le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral doit cesser de se tra\u00eener les pieds et aider cette communaut\u00e9 de toute urgence. \u00bb<\/p>\n
M. Angus \u00e9tait accompagn\u00e9 du chef Lefty Kamenawatamin, de Frank McKay du Conseil des Premi\u00e8res Nations Windigo, grand chef Derek Fox\u00a0et de l\u2019ancien chef r\u00e9gional Charles Fox. Ils sont frustr\u00e9s par le refus du gouvernement de r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 une demande urgente d\u2019aide militaire.<\/p>\n
Mercredi matin, M. Angus et la porte-parole du parti en mati\u00e8re de relations avec les Autochtones, Lori Idlout, ont envoy\u00e9 une lettre au ministre de la Protection civile lui demandant de donner suite \u00e0 la demande urgente de la communaut\u00e9.<\/p>\n
\u00ab Nous savons \u00e0 quel point la COVID-19 est contagieuse, surtout dans les communaut\u00e9s o\u00f9 de nombreuses personnes vivent dans un m\u00eame logement. Le virus ne peut que se propager encore plus, ce qui ne fera qu\u2019aggraver la situation, a ajout\u00e9 M. Angus. Il n\u2019y a pas de temps \u00e0 perdre. Les lib\u00e9raux doivent agir maintenant pour sauver des vies \u00e0 Bearskin Lake. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
