We do have a mechanism within the Inuit-Crown partnership committee process where, once a year, we reflect on the work we have done to date and the progress we have made.
On this particular strategy, there has not been as much progress made as we would have hoped. Part of that is because of the pandemic and because of the penultimate focus of the Government of Canada and of Inuit leadership on a COVID response over the last two years. There still is a lot of work to do, and we have committees in place and we are working through some of these challenges to ensure that we get the most out of all federal departments that have anything to do with the housing continuum.
Too often we are told to go directly to Indigenous Services in relation to housing, when we know that CMHC has a wealth of experience in data collecting and summaries, and in understanding the housing market and its different parts. It isn't just the “dollars and cents” money situation that we're looking for. We are looking for the full breadth of knowledge that the federal government has to be applied to working on interventions and the housing crisis for Inuit Nunangat.
