Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the minister for appearing before us.
I have a couple of quick questions. The first one is around housing.
One of the greatest areas of concern in the Northwest Territories—one that has been made even clearer during the pandemic—is access to safe and affordable housing. Is the government prepared to take further steps in budget 2021 to properly address the housing needs of northerners?
The second question is around an issue I've heard from territorial, indigenous and community governments. They're struggling to meet the cost-sharing requirements of existing federal programs, and COVID has made it even harder. Is the Government of Canada open to providing greater flexibility to ensure that very important projects for our regions are able to move forward?
