Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for being here.
I'd like to pick up on the Auditor General's report around housing that was mentioned earlier.
Of course, it notes that your government supposedly has committed to closing the gap on housing in first nations by 2030, but the Auditor General has found that the department has no plan to do that and that the number of homes that need to be replaced due to deteriorating conditions has actually increased since your government came into office. The report has also found that many of the nations most in need are not getting proper funding and in fact are getting less funding.
How would you explain that disparity?
