Uqaqtittiji, if the Liberals say that they will do whatever it takes for housing, Nunavut needs $250 million. One-third of Nunavutians live in homes needing major repairs and over 50% in my riding are in overcrowded homes. The situation is so bad that TB outbreaks in two more communities were announced earlier this year. Last year, the Government of Nunavut asked the Liberals for $200 million to build urgently needed housing. So far, they got zero. Will the Minister of Finance announce tomorrow the housing funding that Nunavut desperately needs?

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?
