Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank the witnesses, Mr. Delorme, Vice‑Chief Derocher and Mr. Lehr, for their presentations.
I have questions for each of them.
I want to talk about housing. I know witnesses have highlighted how cost, community remoteness and isolation, and labour affect the problem. We talked about those factors with the ministers a week ago, and we were told that the increased costs of building housing in remote communities were finally being taken into account.
Since that isn't necessarily what I'm hearing across the board, I'd like to hear what each of you has to say. The reason I'm asking is simply so that we can make specific requests to the appropriate departments to address the issue and, of course, ensure you have access to housing that meets your needs.
Someone mentioned that you had $110,000, I believe, to build housing in certain communities. That would be impossible to do in my riding, so I imagine the same is true for you.
That is what I would like to hear more about.
