Mr. Speaker, the program that the hon. member referred to is just one of many programs in the national housing strategy and federal investments in Nunavut housing, including the Canada housing benefit, the bilateral housing agreement between Canada and Nunavut, and over $400 million in distinctions-based funding for Inuit-led housing in Inuit Nunangat. By working together with territorial and indigenous partners, we will address the housing needs of Nunavummiut.

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. During the pandemic, the most vulnerable members of our community were in greater need of housing. We know we need to act fast. Our government created nine new affordable housing units in the member's riding for women and children fleeing violence. We will not stop working until every Canadian has a safe, affordable place to live.
