Thank you, MP Idlout, for that.
I want to thank the interpreter for translating from Inuktitut into English.
We made that commitment. It is something we intend to commit.... I can't speak as a cabinet minister to the content and timing of budget. I fully expect our government to fulfill that. I know the work we are doing in our department to continue to work with ITK and land claim organizations, and not only working with the incredible work they've done to put together numbers. A lot of the time with advocacy organizations—and I don't blame them—we throw numbers at each other. There's a lot of work that's been put in by ITK into crystallizing that into a tangible number that we can then turn to finance and work on, and work through budgetary cycles.
I know that sounds like technical speak, but it is very important work, and it's a testament to the level of advocacy that's been achieved.
We have, through budget 2018 and the latest budget in 2021, put close to over a billion dollars in Inuit Nunangat. The current budget 2021 numbers on behalf of the advocacy organizations are not necessarily focused on housing. The previous amounts are, but clearly the lack that you've identified is there. It's stuff that we have to keep working on with you and the work that you're doing, MP Idlout, but also with ITK, the territorial governments and land claim holders.
