Thank you, everyone. I have three more points.
Number two is to permanently fund the shelter initiative for Inuit women and children. It is a proven, Inuit-led model. It must be scaled and permanently sustained, and not be subject to funding renewals.
Number three is to serve urban Inuit. Shelter strategies must address the growing population of Inuit living in cities. They face discrimination, cultural isolation and an absence of Inuit-specific services.
Number four is to establish accountability mechanisms. Canada has commitments under the national housing strategy, the Inuit-Crown partnership committee and the national action plan to end gender-based violence. This committee should recommend binding implementation timelines, public reporting and outcome targets developed with Inuit women's organizations.
In closing, the 2019 National Housing Strategy Act identifies housing as a fundamental human right. Pauktuutit asks this committees to ensure that the right is operationalized—not just acknowledged—for Inuit women, girls and gender-diverse Inuit.
Qujannamiik. Thank you.
