"Making rent-ready social housing units available across the province is a top priority," Social Services Minister Terry Jenson said. "This year's investment will increase the number of rentable units, reduce vacancies and meet the needs of larger families."

As the first Indigenous person ever to lead the federal department responsible for delivering services to First Nations, Inuit and Métis, Mandy Gull-Masty knows she has a daunting task ahead.
