Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here. As we know, their participation in our committee ended abruptly last June. We now have a chance to ask them questions about the thorny issue of housing.
Mr. Marchand, in your testimony about the communities you represent, you referred to two very important reports. One of them, “Indigenous Housing: The Direction Home”, was produced by our own committee. The report aimed to establish a national urban, rural and northern indigenous housing strategy, with projects led by and for indigenous people.
In fact, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, or CMHC, was to report to us on the progress of this strategy for indigenous communities.
To your knowledge, does the strategy that was to be implemented meet the current needs of your communities?
