I'm disappointed that we have to debate whether there's a problem or not. You're very defensive and I understand that, but it doesn't address the issue I'm raising. Let me quote from the report and then please respond:
However, none of these federal organizations had fully assessed the extent of mould contamination in houses on reserves and the full cost of remediation, or developed a comprehensive strategy or action plan to address the problem.
Then the Auditor General goes on in the next paragraph to say:
However, without management's sustained attention, facilitated by a strategy or action plan, the scale of the problem has not been identified, priorities for action have not been established, and no overall plan for co-ordinating federal organizations' efforts or monitoring overall progress has been developed. Without a strategy and action plan to address this problem, First Nations communities may continue to experience premature deterioration of their housing stock and negative health effects on their people.
Please, sir, I want to know, if nobody came out of those meetings taking responsibility to develop this overall strategy, why didn't your department?
