Thank you for that question.

We did see $11 billion over six years towards urgent needs such as housing infrastructure on reserve. We're pleased to see that, but from NWAC's point of view, we would like to see additional funds to stop the violence and genocide addressed in the MMIWG. At this point, we're still doing a more detailed analysis.

I'll stop my remarks there, and I thank you for the question.
