Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Yes, I wanted to add something. We were talking about the Nain airstrip and the need for an airstrip. I think one of the effects of climate change on our airstrip in Nain right now is that with the permafrost, the culverts for the airstrip drainage are not working properly, and there's a lot of erosion.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Thank you for your question. That's one area that I hope I can give you some answers on, because I'm responsible for housing. When we did our original housing needs assessment before we got this federal funding from the federal government, there was no identified funding for our region and what we were getting from Newfoundland and Labrador Housing Corporation was a really small amount.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I'm not exactly sure if I understand your question. How can we slow down the leakage? In my opinion—and I think we've made it quite clear—there is a great lack of infrastructure. If you look at housing or in regard to airstrips and things like that, these are services that we don't have, that are not up to the standards of any other part of Canada.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  In our opinion, it hasn't looked at the supply. We're lacking in marine infrastructure, there are no roads and we don't have adequate airstrips. I don't know how else to answer your question.
