Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his advocacy on the issue of supporting those who have the most acute housing need, which disproportionately impacts indigenous people across this country.
As my colleague very well knows, we have advanced billions of dollars specifically to help address some of these concerns, including support directly to the City of Edmonton, working with partner Homeward Trust, to make the situation better to the extent money can help. In addition, we have put hundreds of millions of dollars on the table to work with provinces that cost match. More than a month ago in his province, I sent a letter, which is yet to be responded to. In the absence of that sort of co-operation with other levels of government, we will work directly with cities and indigenous governments to help address this very challenging situation.
