Assembly of First Nations reveals $349B infrastructure gap for First Nations, urging federal government to invest $135B in housing, $5B in digital connectivity, and $209B in other infrastructure.
The Assembly of First Nations has revealed that decades of underfunding and failed fiduciary duties have resulted in a $349-billion infrastructure gap for First Nations. This gap will worsen without immediate investments in housing, roads, schools, and digital connectivity. The AFN is urging the federal government to assist in closing this gap, suggesting a $135-billion investment for housing, $5-billion for digital connectivity, and another $209-billion for other infrastructure.
