Iksivauta, I have appreciated the ministers' responses and their willingness to work together. I will be asking my questions for the Indigenous Services Minister. I understand and acknowledge that they have been willing to work together. In my line of questioning, I will ask responses to be provided with timelines and amounts. My first question is regarding housing in Nunavut. Could the minister please advise how the federal government is investing in new housing for Nunavut in this fiscal year?

Madam Chair, housing was a main campaign issue in this last election. The Liberal government promised four years ago to deliver an urban, rural and northern indigenous housing strategy. Could the minister provide a timeline of when this work will begin?

Madam Chair, the minister did not answer my question, but I will move to the next question. What investments will be made to ensure that first nations, Métis, Inuit and Nunavut communities can take care of their own elders in their own home communities?

Madam Chair, I am going to turn now to the next set of questions, regarding energy. All 25 of the communities in my riding run on diesel. The Qulliq Energy Corporation is eager to explore renewable energy production across Nunavut. In the 2019 election, Prime Minister Trudeau committed to moving all Inuit communities off diesel power to clean energy by 2030. Nunavut has yet to see any significant investments toward this goal to date. Iqaluit has plans on the shelf for a hydroelectric dam. My first question is: When will these investments begin?
