Thank you, Mr. Schmale.
I will say, yes, absolutely. First of all, I also respect the work of the board tremendously and the very practical recommendations. We'll be working with a number of partners to streamline how we get the significant investment in housing out the door as quickly as possible. It is my goal to spend every dollar as quickly as possible, obviously through first nations leadership, to build those homes. This is the top priority for many first nations leaders across the country.
You're absolutely right that it's a critical social determinant of health. In fact, it's so much so that it's deeply connected to outbreaks of COVID, outbreaks of tuberculosis and of course many other health outcomes. It's a priority for me. The department and I have had many conversations already on how we can streamline the process of getting money through the door. I'm working with my ministerial colleagues on that as we speak.
