Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee I wouldn't constitute it necessarily as a failure on anybody's part. I would simply say that we had a deal. I was on the phone with the chief the night before. We were speaking to him then. The deal was fairly detailed, as I had done with Kashechewan and Cat Lake. There is a lack

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee No. I'm not sure what the fine line is between the two, but certainly, that's what we were going for. We were talking about two different facilities, in fact.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee Prevention is part of the cure, yes, and that also speaks to the increased capacity that we've been able to develop on the ground, that these can be identified quickly and that we have the resources now.

In the past number of months, when I've dealt with leadership, despite the significant challenges that they still face in their communities, t

Seamus O'ReganLiberal
Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee We will continue to build houses as fast as we can in partnership with nations, in partnership with Inuit and in partnership with Métis. We work with them on the ground to determine their needs. It was only, I think, last week that I was in Whitedog and walking through homes wher

Seamus O'ReganLiberal
Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee We've done, I think, significant work in providing shelter and women's shelters on reserve across the country. We need to step up those efforts.
