I want to follow up a little on process and I'll give you a quick example. I was an MP first in 2015, and one of the first meetings I had was with a group that wanted to do some housing in my riding of Saint John—Rothesay. No, it wasn't an indigenous group, but it was a group that wanted to do housing, so I was excited to have the meeting. I was excited to go back to Ottawa and advocate for housing, but then I found out very quickly that housing was provincial, and the feds had agreements with the provinces on housing. It led to one frustration after another. Then obviously I know that federally we came forth with the co-investment housing program and the rapid housing initiative.
Mr. Lawson, I read an article or saw something online about you and the headline was “Indigenous-led projects seek housing solutions”. There was a picture of you with the steering committee. I understand your objective and what you want to do, but what can we do federally to make that happen? We can deliver dollars directly to a rapid-housing initiative, or we can do housing agreements with the provinces, but in the end what do you need to make it happen for you on the ground, to go from announcements to housing being built?
