Thanks, Madam Chair, and I appreciate that coming from the Minister responsible, but my interpretation of that is that the Minister needs to be fighting very hard and working with her colleagues in Cabinet to get more money for housing. And I just don't know what to do anymore because as a Regular MLA for six years, I've asked for more money for housing every time and nothing seems to happen. I'm just about ready to give up here.
I agree with my colleague behind me from Yellowknife North that maybe we need at least $20 million more. I've been pushing for a plan to get us out of core need for probably four or five years. I think we're supposed to get that sometime soon. But I just don't understand why Cabinet is not directing more money into housing. Our own contributions.
You know, we got to stop blaming the feds. We got to stop blaming everybody else. If this is a priority with this government, we need to be spending more money on housing. And I'd like to hear from the Minister about that. Thank you, Madam Chair.
