I think perhaps the way to answer that question is by speaking to the data and to the need.
As I mentioned, if you look at the people experiencing homelessness in southern Ontario, 20% to 22%—at the low end—of the people experiencing homelessness are indigenous. If we're quoting an $80-billion or a $90-billion housing strategy and we've committed $300 million to that strategy, that's less than 0.2% of resources being allocated, at the low end, to a population of people that represents 20% to 22% of the homelessness.
If you look in centres like Winnipeg, Vancouver, northern Ontario and various other parts, it's easy to get to two-thirds or to 90% of the people experiencing homelessness being indigenous. Even among those who are currently housed, the need among indigenous people is twice that of the mainstream.
According to the government's own stats, about 13% to 14% of people experiencing housing needs are.... I'm sorry; that's the population of people experiencing housing need in the mainstream. Indigenous people have twice the incidence of need, yet here we are with a 0.2% allocation.
The resources unfortunately are disproportionately allocated to need, or they're not allocated to need at all. I don't understand why that's the case. To me, if there was any group or population of people that was in need, you would allocate your resources there, particularly in an era of truth and reconciliation and the missing and murdered indigenous women and girls report that you mentioned.
We know housing is both a preventative measure and a solution to ending violence, yet we aren't allocating existing resources, never mind what's actually needed above and beyond that. For some odd reason, we don't allocate resources according to need. It befuddles me.
