Thank you, Madam Chair. It's really easy to say you want to work with the Indigenous groups but there's no follow up. You know, there's a lot of red tape. There's lack of communication. I mean, as an ordinary MLA, I even have trouble getting answers to my emails. I've gone from July 2020, some of the things that I've brought up I still haven't got answers to or conclusions to from Members that I feel are -- is -- they're very -- you know, they are in dire straits. I keep on going back and forth, and then I list a whole bunch of emails that haven't been answered and sent to this department, and I don't get an answer. So working with Indigenous groups, you have to have better communication than that. And which Indigenous groups, I wonder. Are there a select few? I'd like to know that because, you know, I've been an Indigenous leader, and housing is the most important thing and that is why with the previous Assembly, we had a working relationship with the Minister at the time for the Salt River First Nation, and it was an excellent working relationship, but at least I could pick up the phone and speak to someone. I don't see that happening anymore. And I'm not taking anything away from the housing authority because right now, I think there's -- finally, they've got a decent board in place; they have an excellent person that's running the office there. I've never met her yet, but I hear nothing but good things. But there's always this other thing on the side, and the main thing is -- I mean, two houses and 12 retrofits for a community that size when I have 212 people on a waiting list, that is unbelievable and unacceptable.
And I just want to know from the Minister, how is she going to fix that? I went with her for a problem last week. I thought by Monday, if I have one positive thing I'd be happy. I still have no answer. There's going to be a followup. I never get the followup. I want to know what's going on. Thank you, Madam Chair.
