Thank you, Madam Chair. This year, when I went through the budget and went through the committees and we discussed it in the House here, at the end of the day I voted against the budget. And mainly because of there was really nothing there. We got rounded off to 2 percent of the overall budget that we got in my riding. And that's still concerning.
My question, again, to the Minister is that if this is not carved in stone and we could have further discussion on this, whether it would be highways being 30 percent and housing 11 percent, is there a way we could increase that so that we are really addressing the need of housing but yet still meeting the mandate of this government that was put forward in 2019, and that mandate overall?
But having said that, though, if that's an -- if we can look at that but at the same time it would be nice if we could start working the Indigenous governments because right now as it is, we're going to have to figure a way to do things better and maybe through a contribution agreement because right now there's still -- we're still dealing with all of the bureaucratic red tape in the government, and I just thought maybe we could maybe look at this. Thank you, Madam Chair.
