Thank you, Madam Speaker. No, we have not accepted the responsibility to deliver housing to aboriginal people, but we are a public government and we do deliver a public housing program that's available to all people. We have written to all the chiefs and all the Inuit leaders in the Northwest Territories, basically telling them that we are here to support them and to assist them in any way possible for them putting their case forward with the federal government on telling them they have the responsibility to supply housing to aboriginal people.
The $17 million extra we have gotten from this government is because we know the consequences of not supplying that housing are capital dollars to build that housing. We in no way are taking on the responsibility to supply housing to aboriginal people. It's clearly a federal government responsibility. Thank you.
