Thank you.

I'll move on to Tina Stevens.

I appreciate your contributions around co-op housing. I'm a big fan of co-ops in general, but certainly of co-op housing.

I want to focus specifically on people living with disabilities. As we know, indigenous people living in Canada experience much higher rates of disabilities than the rest of the Canadian population.

Can you speak about the importance of ensuring that the rights of indigenous people living with disabilities are upheld, in housing and otherwise?
