I completely agree with you on that. Thank you for mentioning the example of Kitcisakik. Since I come from Abitibi-Témiscamingue, I use Highway 117 every day and that also concerns me. This situation is unacceptable, and even embarrassing for Canada.
You talked about housing as a social determinant. The question is no longer even how many housing units are available. In fact, there are often three or four families in the same housing unit. So building the housing units becomes a priority.
This brings me to my question: what is the cost of inaction? Have you ever measured the cost of the status quo for indigenous communities in relation to the cost of the investments to be made, particularly in social housing?
