Thank you. The urban native fully targeted dollars that you see in the budget here was a federal program that was transferred to us. This program no longer exists except for these revenues that have an agreement in the North Slave. There is no other dollars in our budgets that reference any aboriginal or band funding per se.

Having said that, we do have universal partnership agreements with many bands. We are talking to at least one community in the Member’s riding about delivering some of these programs. We do have a number of asks from other band councils to see how we can work together to better address some delivery in the communities and operation of our units. We will continue to move that forward.

The Member has also asked about federal discussions. We did not engage in a discussion about aboriginal housing at our last meeting with the federal government. I have historically raised it. The previous Liberal government had shown some interest in putting a program together, but that went

by the wayside and this new government has not really picked it up. The aboriginal communities are still quite concerned over this and it is something we have to flag as we move forward and have further discussions.
