Mr. Speaker, according to the Assembly of First Nations of Quebec and Labrador, 8,700 homes need to be built this year to meet urgent needs, but only 414 will be built.
Will the minister commit to remedying this situation—which is almost unimaginable in 2004 in a developed country—and implement real measures to develop housing for first nations? Discussions and promises are all well and good, but promises have to be kept and things have to get done.
