Mr. Speaker, nothing could be further from the truth. Our government is committed to improving the quality of life for northerners.
In the last few years, we have invested $40 million over five years to support options for post-secondary education in the north, in the Arctic. Through our national housing strategy, we are helping more than 3,000 northerners find a place to call home. We have signed 10-year agreements with the three territories, which will invest over $550 million in housing for the north. We have signed a 10-year agreement with ITK, which will invest $400 million for housing in the north.
We know there is a lot of work to do, and we are committed to getting it done in partnership.
