Uqaqtittiji, I would like to welcome everyone back after the summer to a new session. I thank the member for his great presentation. One thing I am always asking people to be considerate about is indigenous issues. We all know that there are increased numbers of indigenous offenders. Can the member describe how this bill would not increase barriers around access to justice for indigenous peoples?

Uqaqtittiji, too many northern communities saw little to no housing projects or repairs this summer. Too many Nunavummiut are being denied their right to a home. When I visited Baker Lake this summer, I saw housing conditions well below acceptable standards. Last year, the Government of Nunavut and Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated submitted a joint budget request to build more homes. They are still waiting. When will the government invest properly in housing that will make a difference in people's lives?
