Mr. Speaker, we know that every person in Canada has the right to a roof over their head. That is a fundamental human right. We have doubled funding to communities in order to fight homelessness and ensure everyone has a place to call home. We know there is a lot of work to be done. However, unlike the Conservatives, we are not going to insult municipalities to get that work done. We have to make sure we work with everyone to find a lasting solution to homelessness in Canada.

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. The tourism fund is about empowering indigenous peoples to advance economic reconciliation. At the international indigenous tourism conference today, the Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada and our government announced more than 79 projects. Unlike the Conservatives, who want to cut the indigenous tourism fund, we on this side of the House believe in its future. As a government, we will always support indigenous tourism. We will always support indigenous communities in making their own decisions, choosing their own paths and growing their tourism sector at their own pace.
