Mr. Speaker, I can assure the member that after 13 years and decades of neglect by the previous Liberal government, the government has actually taken an initiative.
That is why last year, in budget 2006, we allocated $3.7 billion for funding for aboriginal communities, $300 million for northern housing, $300 million for off reserve housing, and $65 million for the aboriginal youth suicide prevention strategy. It goes on and on.
The government takes action where it is necessary after 13 years and longer of neglect.
