Thank you, MP Vidal, for the question. I know that I've changed roles, but I've still been following this with my team.
Clearly, on whether the facts in this case point to your conclusion that there is a lack of flexibility and funding in the way we work, I don't want to necessarily talk to publicly, out of respect for the communities in question, but I think the conclusion is not inaccurate insofar as what we've heard time and time again from communities, which is that lack of flexibility in our programs really hampers, confuses and delays, particularly in housing. In this situation, when we're talking about tuberculosis on one hand or COVID on the other, it actually can have real impacts on people's health and well-being.
While I won't question the facts and the premise, or at least discuss them or ventilate them publicly, I do think the conclusion is not inaccurate in many things we do. It's part of the reason why, under my portfolio, under modern treaties and the grant basis on which monies are allocated, it's really that the federal government works, codevelops and then gets the heck out of the way.
