The allocation was co-developed with the first nations during that time, near 2001, and considered many factors, including Stats Canada's census, but it also included suitability, overcrowding and specific regional needs.
As presented by the Auditor General, CMHC is committed to review this allocation and to work with first nations to co-develop the new formula, which will include the new census data, as well as other factors that first nations deem important in prioritizing their housing needs. That will be a priority of CMHC.
