Mr. Speaker, the NDP secured $4.3 billion in funding to address urgent unmet housing needs for first nations, Inuit and Métis people living away from their home community, and NICHI, a national indigenous-led organization, helped deliver that interim funding without a hitch. Many shovel-ready projects are desperate for the $4 billion in long-term funding to flow, and with winter fast approaching, another construction season will be missed.
Will the Prime Minister just let Indigenous Services task NICHI to get the funding out the door, or are the Liberals are going to re-announce the $4 billion in budget 2025 and pretend it is new funding?
