That certainly helps. Thank you very much.

Mr. Byers, we have the N'Amerind Friendship Centre, so I'm familiar with the name “Namerind”.

You gave us a very personal account of a homeless, indigenous man in Regina. It was a tragic story, all too common. This committee was planning an in-depth study of this issue before the COVID-19 pandemic, an urban and rural indigenous housing strategy.

Can you tell us whether you believe this issue should remain our first post-pandemic priority, and why this issue is so critical?
