That's okay. Maybe I'll come back to it in just a second.
I need to quickly deal with this motion—and I do apologize to our witnesses—that was put on notice last week.
We're pushing through on Bill C-61, this piece of legislation, but we've also heard from a number of indigenous leaders in the past few weeks talking about the ongoing housing crisis in first nations and Inuit communities. We've now had our fourth straight Auditor General report talking about the failing state of housing for indigenous communities, first nations and Inuit, and I think it's important for us to continue that work right through the summer, if need be. It's something that I think these leaders are calling for, and it's something our committee should be looking at and taking seriously.
I will reread the motion. I move:
That, given the large workload and expansive mandate of this committee, the committee hold five meetings for a duration of 2 hours each between July 8 and September 13, to address housing on First Nations and produce a report with policy proposals to build more homes and solve chronic housing challenges on First Nations communities.
Thank you, Chair.
