Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much, Mr. Siddall, for coming here today.
I had the opportunity of walking for about 900 kilometres visiting 41 first nation communities over the past 22 days, and in many of the communities I was very pleased to see that CMHC is actually building homes in partnership with the communities. Some of these communities have excellent housing.
I met young men, such as a guy named Moose, who was very proud of building new homes in his community, and I'm very proud of the commitment our government made on that. But I also found a lot of challenges are occurring, for instance, related to rent within communities. I can't say yet that there's a correlation—I'm going to have to go over my data and what I learned—but it seems that some communities require that rent be paid by people who are living in CMHC housing, and other communities do not, and at first glance there seemed to be a correlation with the long-term quality of that housing.
We can talk a bit about that, but also, just to get more information, what is CMHC doing in working with first nations communities on this file?
