Madam Speaker, we learned today that there will be an economic statement on December 16. I would like to ask my colleague if he is aware that a letter was sent to the Minister of Finance and Deputy Prime Minister about the Yänonhchia' project.
It is a really wonderful project, and all this group is asking for is a $150‑million investment to facilitate access to affordable capital and expand the model, which has already been proven effective in Quebec and could be spun out to five other regions of Canada. The interesting thing is that this could help increase the number of available housing units while giving indigenous peoples some responsibility for their housing projects. We would be giving their power back to them.
Does my colleague agree that the $150 million should be allocated in the next economic update, as requested by the Yänonhchia' project proponents? It is a great, easy solution for housing in indigenous communities.
