Weekly Update From Kenora MP Eric Melillo: Dear Constituents, I’ve been taking part in House of Commons proceedings virtually this week, fighting for the needs of the Kenora riding. Standing for safety in Pikangikum Last week, I called on the Minister of Public Safety to deploy RCMP officers to Pikangikum First Nation. Lack of police in Pikangikum has already put the health and safety of residents at risk. While I was relieved to see that overnight nurses were able to return to the community, the absence of law enforcement is still a security concern. I have spoken with Chief Dean Owen, who told me that the community would welcome RCMP until an alternative solution can be found. But when I asked Minister Bill Blair if he would send officers, the Minister doubled down and indicated he would not send resources to assist the community.
