Mr. Speaker, I attended the funeral of my niece Cheryl two weeks ago and, six months before that, the funeral of her father.

Cancer impacts all families. It does not care about age, income, job, dreams for the future or where one lives.

In rural Canada, it is often difficult to access health care in a timely manner. Add in the additional challenges of Canada's more remote places, where air travel to see a doctor is often a requirement and complicates access even more. Our health centres and staff can do amazing work, but they have their limitations.

I really want to make sure we proceed with our platform promise to “make sure that every Canadian has access to a family doctor or primary health care team” and to improve “the quality of care for the nearly five million Canadians who today lack access”, because our lives depend on it.

Mr. Speaker, last September our government unveiled a new long-term and strategic vision for Canada's Arctic and north with the release of the Arctic and northern policy framework.

Could the Minister of Northern Affairs comment on the co-development process of the framework and update the House on the next steps?

Mr. Speaker, housing in my riding is at a crisis level. Forty-three per cent of all homes in Northwest Territories either have affordability, suitability or adequacy issues. Although our government has invested significantly in housing, we know more needs to be done. There is immediate need to invest directly in housing in order to improve the lives of indigenous people in the Northwest Territories.

Could the Minister of Families, Children and Social Development update us on what is being done to address this issue?
