NTI, or Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated, requested $500 million in the budget to fund housing development for Inuit housing in Nunavut, and yet this government offered a measly $40 million for Inuit across Canada. NTI said that Inuit needs for housing are as great as all Inuit Nunangat combined.
The $500 million was a short-term emergency ask. It's a bare minimum ask, and even though you included more money for Inuit housing, it would still be less than a fifth of what was requested. That's like needing five dollars and getting a quarter. That's an outrage. Why didn't this government at least budget the requested $500 million for housing in Nunavut?
