Indigenous communities are clearly within the federal jurisdiction. I know from my own research that child poverty is an especially serious issue among indigenous people and that we need to study this question and provide housing solutions for families living on reserve. We need to have solutions for indigenous families also living off reserve, especially in urban indigenous communities, and we need to move this forward quickly.
This has been an internationally recognized crisis by the UN bodies. We've heard this time and time again in international settings, and we need to take action on it quickly. These are essential components having three distinct strategies and then a fourth one, as Jeff Morrison mentioned in the previous panel, that addresses the urban indigenous housing crisis and homelessness.
