Investing more this year in housing for Indigenous Peoples is priority in the agreement the federal minority Liberal government struck with the New Democrats, as well as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's re-election platform last year.
That includes $2.4 billion for on-reserve housing over five years. The funding timeline for Inuit housing, at $845 million, and Metis communities, at $190 million, is over seven years. The budget did not include detailed figures beyond fiscal 2026-27. The federal government set aside $40 billion in its fall economic statement to cover a historic child-welfare agreement.
The budget also addresses the ongoing search for unmarked graves at the former sites of residential schools.
Make sure it's actually going to Indigenous people. Maybe use some of that money to fix the water on all the reserves that are STILL on a boil water notice
And yet again, the seniors get to live well below poverty after working their whole lives in this country! Justin is making a statement here. Seniors don’t matter, we aren’t needed anymore!
You mean an additional 4.3 as taxpayers have paid for every single house they currently have
And in 3 yrs not 1 house will be built.
I drove through Siksika Nation south of Calgary and counted 18 boarded up houses not in use. And that’s just what I could see from the highway. But ya, let’s throw another $4B at the problem of lack of housing. 🙄
Far too much
It’s good interest rates are so low so they can afford…. Oh , yeah , right…. Let me guess, I’ll pick that one up……. Again….!! Hope they appreciate it…!
Oh look the circus was on today.
Finally !!!!!
Out of 4.3 billion over 7 years, only 250 mil is going to water? Am I reading this right? I'm glad money is being spent, but the budget seems lacking in terms of infrastructure when you consider each project on the scale most reservations need can run into 10's of mils easily
Salut sir have a great life
So with this kind of money Canadians should see 21,500 new $200,000 homes built for FMNi from this program unless it’s all for consultation lawyers & bureaucracy.
Which will go to the casinos.
Are only indigenous people suffering from housing unaffordability to warrant such bigotry?
What about the other people in Canada, what do we get?
The most ridiculous national leader on the planet.
Nice.
Half built houses and new cars for all…..money well spent.
Yes, that'll be very usefull for when the Russians come from the north as our military still underfunded, understaffed and underequiped. I hope these Indigenous keep us safe.
The Chiefs are going on a shopping spree. No money will get to the band members that really need it.
Good.

Federal budget to include ban on foreign home buyers, billions for housingIn order to make Canada a truly great country the budget needs to include: Universal healthcare (mental, dental, vision) UBI Housing as a right Massive investments in green energy Free postsecondary Fair taxation for billion dollar corporations & the extremely wealthy. It might peeve off some of the high rollers but if Canada is your first choice for a nation like mine then it is the right choice. Lets roll around in our beautiful nations wealth and resources not starve half our nation. There’s never been a government housing project that wasn’t riddle with fraud, poor building quality and extra costs. I’ve got a loonie says not one single unit is ever completed. It’s so obvious.

Politics Briefing: Federal budget to promise $10-billion to make housing more affordableAlso: Budget will also provide new defence spending, and aim to spur economic growth through green initiatives and a small-business tax cut This housing plan is a joke. It hands our keys to the Chinese. Housing can be made affordable if interest rates were set above the inflation rate. Time to normalize and allow capitalism to function efficiently. The liberal government is classic for making it look grand. Average house has doubled. Down payment is 20 percent of 800k which is the average price of a house. Who has that kind of money? Can't fix stupid. They don't give a shit about most Canadians
