Let's talk about housing for a moment. As you know, I represent one of the most marginalized parts of the country, and the housing crisis is extreme in many of the first nations I represent, and it is not by accident. It is an absolute result of Liberal and Conservative governments underfunding housing on first nations.
I know this committee has heard from MKO and Grand Chief Settee around the lack of housing on reserve as well as off reserve, and we know that, as you point out, Minister, this contributes to the vulnerability of indigenous women and two-spirit people in our communities.
This budget is nowhere near where it needs to be to address the housing crisis in terms of indigenous communities. How is your government not realizing the urgency with which massive investments in housing need to be made on and off reserve?
