[Inuktitut text interpreted as follows:]
Thank you for your response. Now I understand.
Since 2013, a need for infrastructure has been felt, and Indigenous Services Canada has been aware of it. They would have had some planning at that point and lobbying for dollars to be assigned to it.
That is not correct. It is not right. When you make an excuse that there is no funding, no monies to be had, that's not an excuse when there's a need for emergency measures to be addressed.
Are you able to give the indigenous communities the funding so they can build their own infrastructure needs?
