Auditor General Karen Hogan criticizes Canadian government's inadequate progress in improving First Nations housing and policing despite significant funding allocation.
Auditor General Karen Hogan criticized the Canadian government's efforts in improving housing conditions and policing in First Nations communities, stating she is "completely discouraged" by the lack of progress over the past two decades. Despite $3.86 billion allocated for First Nations housing over the past five years, the Assembly of First Nations estimates $44 billion is needed to improve housing by 2030. The auditor general's reports highlight the need for a fundamental shift in the government's approach to support Canada's Indigenous peoples.
