That's such a critical issue in this country. I don't even know where to start, and quite honestly, the Right to Housing Coalition is not focused on housing for indigenous people. We have made some assumptions, perhaps, that we weren't in a position to speak for indigenous people. Out of respect, we have supported the vision outlined in the Assembly of First Nations housing strategy, which calls for housing policy to be informed by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
I have personal contact with a good friend on a reserve. He is responsible for housing on the reserve. It's a small reserve in Manitoba, and the money it receives for housing is very limited. The housing comes in to be assembled. Often they can't afford to get professionals to assemble it, so they do it themselves. The housing is not designed for the communities and the lifestyle and climate in which they're being put. They're hardly adequate for down in Winnipeg. Way too many people are overcrowded, as you know very well, and the houses are not conducive to people who are living on the land.
There's a huge amount...and I'm sure $2 billion isn't going to do it. I don't even know where you start with that. The problem is the result of neglect over many years, and as a country, we should be putting way more time and money into it than we currently are.
That's the best I can do right now.
