Well, thank you very much, MP McLeod, and thanks for your ongoing advocacy for northern communities, especially in the Northwest Territories. You're right: The Auditor General's audit didn't look at first nations communities in Northwest Territories or the other territories because almost all of on-reserve first nations communities are located in the provinces, so I'm glad you had a chance to speak with her about how to get that data from northern communities, which are self-governing in many cases.
I think what we've learned, especially through emergency management, is that we need to work more closely with the territories. Quite frankly, the experience I had last summer supporting K'atl'odeeche—as you know, during the crisis they were experiencing resulting from the wildfire, and feeling really unheard, in many ways, by the territory at that particular time—informed us of the work we can do to support the territories in their obligation to meet the housing needs of self-governing people and to work with self-governing first nations to result in more housing.
The good news is that there was an announcement on January 18, 2024, that CMHC provided almost $19 million more to support building 54 homes in indigenous communities in the Northwest Territories. You can see that this idea that we need to work more closely with self-governing first nations, and with first nations that are in territories, is starting to percolate throughout departments.
Maybe I can turn to Minister Fraser to talk about CMHC and that evolution.
