Indigenous Affairs
During question period, the Bloc Québécois raised the housing crisis in the Atikamekw community of Manawan, saying overcrowded and unsanitary housing is spreading respiratory illness and citing Amnesty International’s criticism. The Bloc said Indigenous communities have been denouncing housing shortages for decades, put Quebec’s needs at ten thousand new homes plus thousands of repairs, and asked when the government would deliver on a 2030 commitment made under international law. Liberal minister Mandy Gull-Masty replied that housing is a top priority for Indigenous communities, pointed to a new program to build homes with Indigenous communities, said past governments underfunded the file, and said her government is adding funding for Indigenous nations in Quebec and across Canada.Written by AI from the debate.
