Marilène Gill at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I would like to thank the witnesses for being with us today.

I would like to talk about a very important subject that we addressed in another study, one that dealt with housing. Obviously, we noted the impact that lack of access to housing can have in remote communities: it has caused an exodus of the population to urban centres.

Is not having access to health care where they live also a factor that prompts people to leave their community?

Ms. Putulik, do you have any comments about that?
